Lord Berkeley – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Berkeley on 2016-02-03.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many Type 45 destroyers will have additional generating capacity installed, and what is the estimated cost of that work.

Earl Howe

The current planning assumption is that all six ships in the class will have additional generating capacity installed. The total cost of implementing the diesel generator upgrade will be determined at the main investment decision.

I am withholding details of our current cost estimates as premature disclosure of this information could prejudice the commercial interests of the Department.
