Defence Equipment: Decommissioning
(asked on 5th December 2024) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when the planners of the Strategic Defence Review were notified of the intention to retire (a) HMS Albion, (b) HMS Bulwark and (c) other assets.
This question was answered on 13th December 2024
The decision to formally decommission HM Ships ALBION and BULWARK reflects the decision of the last Government. This has been in full consultation with the Service Chiefs and the SDR reviewers and neither ship could realistically be put to sea again ahead of their planned decommissioning in 2032 and 2033 respectively.
