answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence does not recognise the term 'Sea Lightning', with 'F-35B Lightning' the designation jointly agreed by the First Sea Lord and the Chief of the Air Staff. Strategic Defence and Security Review 2015 stated our intent to buy 138 F-35 Lightning aircraft over the life of the programme. The first tranche of 48 aircraft will be the F-35B; decisions on subsequent tranches of Lightning will be taken at the appropriate time. We are on track to generate two front-line squadrons of F-35B Lightnings by 2023.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Armed Forces Continuous Attitude Survey (AFCAS) provides long standing and valuable data on understanding how Service personnel feel about key issues. This evidence helps to inform the development of people policies and processes across Defence and within the individual Services. The AFCAS results are reviewed by the Defence Board, Service Chiefs and throughout Defence to identify key issues and to consider how they can be addressed.</p><p> </p><p>The Department recognises that the 2018 results show further decreases in the morale of our Service personnel and is taking steps to address those concerns and to enhance the positive aspects and experiences of Service life. Issues previously identified in the AFCAS have already informed the development of a range of programmes under way across Defence and the single Services including Flexible Service, the Future Accommodation Model and the Enterprise Approach.</p><p> </p><p>The leadership of the Royal Marines visits units on a regular basis and takes trends in morale extremely seriously. The Royal Marines Chain of Command will consider the findings of AFCAS 2018 carefully and work with members of the Royal Marine Corps to better understand the causes of any changes in attitudes. In addition, the Royal Marines will continue to run focussed engagement events to attempt to understand changes in attitudes in more detail.</p>

answer text <p>The Royal Navy is in the process of introducing five new, more capable Offshore Patrol Vessels, originally intended to replace the current four employed in the UK and the Falkland Islands. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is leading ongoing cross-Government discussions to determine our requirement for fisheries protection and compliance of patrols in UK waters following our exit from the EU. This will also help inform the Ministry of Defence's planning on our future requirement for Offshore Patrol Vessels.</p> more like this
