Question to the Ministry of Defence:
What preparations his Department has made ahead of the planned deployment of the Carrier Strike Group in 2021.
This question was answered on 2nd November 2020
The Carrier Strike Group (CSG) will deploy for the first time in 2021, providing tangible reassurance and security to our friends and credible deterrence to those who seek to undermine global security. During this autumn the CSG will be tested through a series of increasingly demanding exercises with allies so that by the end of this year we can declare with full confidence that the CSG has met Initial Operating Capability and is ready for operations.
