    6 new Type 45 destroyers were tied up in Portsmouth in 2017, because the cooling systems didn’t work in anything but freezing cold sea water. He is probably including them, because they are being repaired one by one, up until at least 2028. He’ll also include the 2 faulty aircraft carriers that are tied up and under repairs, again !

      Currently, HMS Daring, HMS Dragon and HMS Defender are all at various stages of the Power Improvement Project (PIP) - part of the PIP upgrades include new radars, computers, software, weapons and damage control not just new engines.
      The PIP work has been brought forward and instead of doing one ship at a time (hence the 2028 timeline) they are doing 2 while working on another so we could have 2 more finished in 2024/25 and undergoing sea trails.
      The other 3 ships have completed all the upgrades.
      But all 6 are still missing their sea-to-land attack missile systems (it should have been the sea-based tomahawk cruise missile system) because they were never fitted due to cost-cutting.
      I do not fancy an 8km walk to see what the aircraft carriers are up to.

      Firstly, it was a pledge of 13 Type 26 frigates. The government then scrapped 5 of those frigates and reduced the order to 8 (not 7), but then ordered batch of a different design, 5 Type 31 frigates. So the total number of hulls being constructed has actually stayed the same - well grown since then, there were 24 built, under construction, or to be built in Scotland.

    Construction projects like this are divided up into two main phases: Concept & Assessment and Design & Manufacture. So ships like the Type 26, Type 31 and Dreadnought Class are in the Design & Manufacture, so that's 17 ships being built. The remaining vessels are the Marine Assault Ships and AUKUS subs, currently in Concept & Assessment (differing ideas are being tested before a productionised design is created).

      The 6 multi-role ships will replace 6 existing ships so I’d imagine the same personnel will take over the new ones. The other 22 will probably also be replacements as opposed to additional. HMS Cardiff mentioned in the video us one of 8 type 26 frigates that will replace 8 existing type 23 frigates.

    "Concept Design" as I understand it is exactly what it says. It takes a proposal to a stage where it can be assessed for its cost benefit, whether the RoI is justified and in the case of a long term project, like a warship, whether the need for it to be built still exists.
    Over centuries hundreds of warship designs have got that far and no further.
