<p>The Royal Navy continually reviews Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capabilities. This
will be enhanced by the introduction into service of the world-leading, cutting edge
technology of the Type-26 ASW frigates and the continuing roll-out of the Astute class
submarines. HMS ASTUTE, HMS AMBUSH and HMS ARTFUL are already in service, with HMS
AUDACIOUS, HMS ANSON, HMS AGAMEMNON, and HMS AGINCOURT to follow.</p><p>The RAF P-8A
Poseidon Maritime Patrol Aircraft will also play an intrinsic role as part of an integrated
force to enhance maritime security and anti-submarine warfare. It will be fully integrated
with other Royal Navy and NATO ASW assets. RAF Lossiemouth is preparing to welcome
nine P-8A aircraft from 2020. They will be integrated into a £132 million strategic
support facility with capacity to support Joint Expeditionary Force allies.</p>
