CCV orders are the likeliest bridge for Rosyth after Type 31

Will cancelling Type 32 leave Rosyth without work, or will offshore patrol vessels be ordered to keep the yard open?

The CCV is the likeliest follow-on order because Rosyth is the only available British yard that fits the proposed timetable.

The Common Combat Vessel is the most plausible programme to follow the Type 31s at Rosyth. Govan is committed to Type 26, so the desired CCV timetable leaves few British alternatives unless construction goes abroad. An OPV order could provide work, but it does not match the plan's stated combat-vessel requirement. Cancelling Type 32 therefore creates an immediate question about preserving Rosyth's skilled workforce and production line.
