Royal Fleet Auxiliary
Asked by: Ian Mearns (Labour - Gateshead) Wednesday 13th March 2024 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the status is of each ship in the Royal Fleet Auxiliary fleet. Answered by James Cartlidge - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) The information requested is as follows and is accurate as of 12 February 2024. ‘Available’ is defined as ships not undergoing deep maintenance or preparing to undergo deep maintenance.
The normal operating cycle of every ship involves them entering different readiness levels depending on their programmes, periods of refit and Departmental planning requirements. To maintain operational security, these figures cannot be broken down into any further level of detail, however, I can confirm that these figures do include the new RFA Offshore Support Vessel class. |
