Funding the Type 45 midlife upgrade

Has the Type 45 midlife upgrade been rolled back?

It is described as paused for lack of cash and subsequently funded, while eventual delivery remains uncertain.

The July 2026 account describes the Type 45 midlife upgrade as having been paused for lack of money. It says the Defence Investment Plan subsequently allocated funding to the work before reaching the wider funding gap discussed in the stream. On that account, the pause had ended and the upgrade was proceeding. The closing qualification leaves its eventual delivery open.
