Mr. Speed

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if HMS Swiftsure is now fully operational.

HMS Swiftsure is currently undertaking her post-refit trials. As is normal on completion of these trials, the submarine will return to Devonport for a short defect rectification period prior to rejoining the fleet for operational duties.
