WARSHIPS

Sir Nicholas Soames: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what Royal Navy ships are currently available for operational service.

Mr Philip Dunne, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State and Minister for Defence Equipment, Support and Technology (including Defence Exports): The normal operating cycle of every ship involves them entering different readiness levels depending on their programmes and Departmental planning requirements.

It is Ministry of Defence policy not to publish details of the readiness states of individual Royal Navy vessels or types for reasons of national security.
 
A list of ships available for operational service, in refit or at low or very low readiness as at 19 March 2015 is attached.
