HC Deb 23 December 1982 vol 34 c618W
Sir Patrick Wall

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if, consequent to Cmnd. 8758, he has made any revisions to the list of Her Majesty's ships or Royal Fleet Auxiliaries that it is proposed to scrap or sell; and if he will name the ships involved.

Mr. Blaker

Of the ships listed in my answer to my hon. and gallant Friend of 8 November—[Vol. 31, c.88]—the following warships are now to be retained in operational service:

  • "Glamorgan"
  • "Achilles"
  • "Apollo"
  • "Ariadne"
  • "Rhyl"
  • "Euryalus"
  • "Naiad"
  • "Aurora"

Plans for the withdrawal from the active fleet of other Royal Navy ships and Royal Fleet Auxiliaries are under review.
