Stratus and Royal Navy missile commonality

Probably, because using the same missile family would fit the preference for limiting the number of different weapon systems in service.

Question

Is Stratus likely to be fitted to additional Royal Navy ships?

Short answer

Probably, because using the same missile family would fit the preference for limiting the number of different weapon systems in service.

Notes

Fitting Stratus more widely is considered sensible on grounds of commonality. The Royal Navy is described as avoiding an unnecessarily broad variety of weapon systems. This is an expectation about a likely fit, without a confirmed procurement decision.
