Conclusion
Recent developments have introduced uncertainty about some orders in the pipeline and whether it sets out a clear ‘drumbeat’ of orders needed to sustain Scottish shipyards. The Fleet Solid Support Ships and the National Flagship are two examples. There has been some media speculation about the Type 32s, although the UK Government have stated: “The strategic and long-term investments continue to be on track and will increase the capability and size of the fleet.”89
