Answer
Royal Navy ships may conduct a repair at any time, whether deployed at sea or alongside. It is therefore not possible from available records to determine the number of vessels conducting a repair on any particular day.
The number of ships (excluding aircraft carriers) that were designated as in refit on the first of each month during 2016 as follows:
Month | Number of ships in refit |
January | 5 |
February | 5 |
March | 5 |
April | 6 |
May | 6 |
June | 6 |
July | 6 |
August | 6 |
September | 6 |
October | 6 |
November | 6 |
December | 6 |
