Refit costs for HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark were revealed. In response to a parliamentary question from Mark Francois, Conservative MP for Rayleigh and Wickford, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has disclosed the costs associated with refits for amphibious assault ships HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark since 2010. Maria Eagle, Minister of State for Defence, provided the figures, stating: “The total cost of refits to HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark since 2010 is £132.7 million. This excludes HMS Bulwark’s 2022-2025 refit, which was estimated to cost £72.1 million.”The case of HMS Bulwark is particularly notable. The vessel’s planned refit, intended to extend its operational life, was halted when the ship was retired before the work was completed. Eagle added: “As HMS Bulwark was retired before her refit was completed, the refit costs are under review.”
