<p>Our Royal Navy will soon take delivery of their second aircraft carrier, HMS PRINCE
OF WALES, completing the Queen Elizabeth Class. She will be ably supported by cutting
edge F-35 fighter jets. We are investing in a full new generation of submarines and
Type 26 frigates which will equip the Royal Navy with world leading capabilities to
defend British and our allies' interests. We have already committed to building new
Batch 2 Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) and, as announced on 22 November 2018, will
retain the Batch 1 OPVs. In addition, the winning bidder for the Type 31 will be announced
shortly. The Government has also committed to increase the number of personnel in
the Royal Navy, and will spend £64.1 billion on procurement and support of ships and
submarines over the next decade.</p>
