Type 31 Frigates: Guided Weapons
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Type 31 Frigates will have Mk.41 VLS incorporated during construction and prior to launch.
Answered by Luke Pollard
We intend to fit the Type 31 frigate with the Mark 41 vertical launch system. Working closely with the US Navy, we are progressing the next steps of the Mk41 procurement, including assessment of all installation and integration options. At this stage, as I hope the hon. Gentleman will understand, it would be inappropriate to provide any further information whilst this commercially sensitive work is ongoing.
