RN has already retired 4 frigates long before their replacements are available.
HMS Monmouth, Montrose , Westminster and Argyll have been retired.
HMS Northumberland was handed to Babcock for a major upkeep period in March of this year .
HMS Lancaster is supposed to decommission sometime in 2025-26 .
The 1998 SDR stated that the RN needed 20 frigates (and 12 destroyers) This was at a time when the world was far more stable and peaceful than it is today .
By 2010 the arbitrary figure of 13 frigates had become the accepted force strength.
The impact of the declining frigate force can be seen simply by observing the fall in RN warship activity over the past year .
RN bears some responsibility for drawn-out gestation, ever-changing requirements, delays and prevarication in ordering the Type 26 frigates.
Others will blame industry for painfully slow deliveries of new ships and interminable maintenance periods.
A great deal of credit should go to the RN for establishing the Type 31 project in 2015 against considerable opposition.
