Type 45 Destroyers: Crew
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of implementing a new management system across the Type 45 fleet to facilitate a reduction in crew size.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Ministry of Defence keeps the personnel requirements and operating models of its surface fleet, including the Type 45 Destroyers, under continual review to ensure they remain effective, safe and aligned with operational demands.
Any change would be subject to rigorous assessment, including safety, operational effectiveness and value for money considerations.
