Shipbuilding investment will double over the life of this Parliament rising to over £1.7 billion a year; this investment will allow us to increase the number of Frigates and Destroyers beyond the 19 we currently have by the end of the decade. Orders for the Type 26 and Type 31 Frigates have already been placed and will be introduced from around the mid-late 2020s.
