The date for Fleet Solid Support Initial Operating Capability and individual ship in service dates will not be determined until the Full Business Case is submitted and will be reliant on the delivery schedule agreed when the manufacture contract is awarded. The contract requirement is for three ships to be delivered by 2032; the competition rewards bids that deliver to the earliest schedule, balanced against value for money.
