Recommendation (the committee's words)
We are not yet persuaded that the £1.3 billion allocated to the Hybrid Navy programme will be sufficient to develop, procure and integrate its five planned classes of maritime platform: four uncrewed classes and the crewed Common Combat Vessel. The government should set out in its response to this report the basis on which it judges the current funding allocation to be adequate. (Recommendation, Paragraph 108)
