<p>The Ships’ Names and Badges Committee (SNBC) is responsible for considering and
assessing the possible names for a new ship or class of ship. The committee considers
all names which have been proposed, formally and informally, and presents its recommendations
to the Navy Board. The name(s) chosen by the Navy Board are forwarded to my right
hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Defence before being submitted to Her Majesty
the Queen for final approval. <br><br>A final decision with regards to this process
is not expected until the Type 26 Global Combat Ship programme has completed its assessment
phase and any subsequent investment decisions are complete. The SNBC has noted the
proposal to use the name HMS PLYMOUTH.</p>
