answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/05/2022 answer text <p>It would be inappropriate to comment in detail on the capacity of the aircraft carriers to use data from the F-35B as to do so would or could be likely to prejudice the capability of our Armed Forces.</p><p>However, I can confirm that the aircraft carriers have a dedicated, integrated mission planning and de-brief facility which is used to analyse data the F-35Bs have gathered during their mission. These facilities proved invaluable on the most recent Carrier Strike Group deployment (CSG21) and provide a significant organic capability for the Ministry of Defence now and into the future.</p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Jeremy Quin question first answered 19/05/2022 10:20:31 answering member 4507 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin
