Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the timeline for the introduction of the Multi-Role Support Ships remains on track to meet operational requirements.
This question was answered on 5th December 2024
The Multi-Role Strike Ship (MRSS) programme will recapitalise the Royal Navy (RN)’s amphibious fleet, which consists of the three Bay class landing ships (RFA Lyme Bay, Mounts Bay and Cardigan Bay) and RFA Argus, which provides medical and aviation support. These vessels, which are planned to have left service by 2034, are due to be replaced by MRSS. The MRSS programme is in the concept phase and aims to deliver the first of class by 2033.
