HMS Iron Duke: Decommissioning
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the out of service date of HMS Iron Duke has changed.
Answered by Luke Pollard
As the hon. Member will recall from his time as a Defence Minister. The Ministry of Defence does not routinely publish out-of-service dates for individual Royal Navy vessels.
The precise out-of-service date will be determined through balancing operational requirements, maintenance schedules, and transition to modern and world leading capabilities introduced with the Type 26 and Type 31 Frigates entering service.
