<p>The first Type 45 destroyer is due to undergo Power Improvement Project upgrades
in 2020 and will be returning to sea trials in 2021. Our £160 million investment in
the Power Improvement Project will provide increases in both power generation and
reliability for the rest of the Type 45 destroyers' service life. It is planned that
all six ships should have completed their upgrade during the mid-2020s.</p><p>Like
all Royal Navy ships, the Type 45 destroyers rotate through planned operating cycles
involving maintenance, training, deployment, leave and capability upgrades. This results
in individual ships being at various levels of readiness. The Type 45 Destroyers continue
to be deployed on operations and contribute to the defence of the UK and our international
partners.</p>
