Options are currently being considered for arming the Type 26 Frigate with land attack missiles. Nicholas Soames, Member of Parliament for Mid Sussex, asked:
“To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to introduce Tomahawk Land Attack Missile capability to the surface fleet.”
Stuart Andrew, The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence, responded:
“Type 26 Frigates are being equipped with the Mk41 Strike Length Vertical Launch System which would be compatible with Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles.
