Type 45 Destroyers
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the out-of-service date for the Type 45 fleet.
Answered by Luke Pollard
I refer the hon. Member to the answer I provided to Question 123464 on 1 April 2026:
On current plans, the last Type 45 Destroyer will retire from service by the end of 2038. The Royal Navy does not release out of service dates for individual ships.
