The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many missiles will be carried on a single Common Combat Vessel.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Royal Navy will determine the weapons fit and payload capacity of the Common Combat Vessel as the programme progresses through its concept and assessment phases. The role, configuration and armament of the Common Combat Vessel will be considered in the context of the wider Hybrid Navy force design.
