“The Royal Navy operates eight Type 23 Frigates, and as of 2 April 2025, six Type 23 frigates are at readiness and available for operations,” Eagle stated. She added that individual ships follow standard operating cycles that include maintenance and scheduled upgrades.
Three additional Type 23s — HMS Westminster, HMS Argyll, and HMS Northumberland — are currently in the process of being decommissioned. The decommissioning timelines were also confirmed: it has been 321 days since the decision to retire HMS Westminster and HMS Argyll, and 133 days for HMS Northumberland.
The retirement of these legacy vessels forms part of the UK’s wider effort to modernise its surface fleet, with the Type 23s set to be replaced by the upcoming Type 26 and Type 31 frigates.
According to Eagle, “All eight world-class Type 26 ships are scheduled to enter service commencing from 2029, with all five Type 31 ships expected to be operational by the early 2030s.”
