The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the average length of time for each Type-45 Fleet Time Support Period.

Answered by Luke Pollard

Fleet Time Support Periods (FTSPs) for Type 45 Destroyers vary in duration depending on the scope of scheduled maintenance, operational commitments, capability insertions and any emergent work identified once the vessel enters the maintenance period.
