answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2022 answer text <p>The Royal Navy has reviewed design and costing options for upgrading amphibious shipping in support of the UK's Commando Forces.</p><p>It has been decided that extending in service and upgrading RFA ARGUS and operating her alongside our Landing Ship Docking (Auxiliary)s in their current configuration, represents the optimum solution to support a forward deployed Littoral Response Group. This will provide a sustainable air manoeuvre, surface manoeuvre and command and control capability with the ability to manage availability as platforms undergo maintenance. The extension of RFA ARGUS also sustains Defence's Role 3 afloat medical capability.</p><p>The lessons from this analysis, and from operating these platforms forward in the coming years, will inform the procurement of the Multi-Role Support Ship which will replace the capabilities embodied in these platforms in the future.</p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Jeremy Quin question first answered 11/07/2022 15:54:31 answering member 4507 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin
