The Royal Navy is committed to improving lethality across the Fleet. This requirement is brought into sharp focus by conflict in Europe and Russia's unacceptable invasion of Ukraine.
In addition to the purchase of the Naval Strike Missile, there has also been investment to ensure the Royal Navy is capable of offensive strike against our most capable adversaries.
