After a superb visit this afternoon in Limmersol port I have to agree this statement has merit - attributed to ⁦Hansard Society⁩. ⁦HMS Duncan⁩ is a fine example of the modern ⁦Royal Navy.

Responding to a parliamentary question from Andrew Rosindell, MP for Romford, on the operational status of the Royal Navy’s Type 45 destroyers, Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard confirmed that “as of 31 October 2024, two Type 45 destroyers were immediately available, or deployed.”
Rosindell’s question specifically asked “how many Type 45 destroyers are (a) operationally available and (b) capable of being deployed simultaneously.”
