Minesweepers
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the out-of-service dates are for each Royal Navy mine counter measures vessel.
Answered by Luke Pollard
All existing HUNT and SANDOWN-class Mine Countermeasures Vessels are planned for retirement within the Mine Hunting Capability (MHC) programme, as part of the transition to advanced autonomous systems.
For operational security reasons, the Royal Navy does not release the out of service dates of individual platforms.
