Ships Mr. Trotter asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many Royal Navy ships have been (a) ordered, (b) accepted into service and (c) withdrawn from service in each of the last 20 years; and what has been the number of ships in the Royal Navy at the end of each of the last 20 years. Mr. Duffy Some of the information is not readily available. I will write to the hon. Member. Mr. Trotter asked the Secretary of State for Defence which are the first two new fleet replenishment ships of the class, the third of which is referred to in paragraph 304(g) of Command Paper No. 6735. Mr. Duffy The first two vessels of this type of fleet replenishment ship were RFA "Regent" and RFA "Resource", both of which entered service in 1967. RFA "Fort Grange" was built to a new design and is due to come into service this year. A further ship—" Fort Austin "is under construction.
