Type 26 Frigates: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, is he will set out the (a) delivery and (b) in-service date for each Type 26 frigate.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Type 26 programme remains on track to meet all user requirements and deliver eight world-class anti-submarine warfare frigates in time to replace the anti-submarine warfare Type 23s. All ships are expected to enter service between 2028 and 2035.
Type 26 Frigates will allow the Royal Navy to continue to play a leading role in the anti-submarine theatre of the North Atlantic, providing a crucial output to both NATO and the Joint Expeditionary Force.
