| Description: | To deliver 2 Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers. |
| DCA (RAG) | Amber |
| DCA text: | The IPA described seeing much progress since the last review, its Amber assessment was based on issues around: HMS Queen Elizabeths First Entry to Portsmouth (FEP); cost clarity; manning requirements; the Common Support Model (CSM) business case and support in the Solent when unable to enter port. These actions are being progressed through the stakeholders and included in Holding to Account discussions. FEP will now be a comparatively low key event with a later ceremonial event. A comprehensive assessment of Programme costs has been produced. Manning is being successfully managed based on continued prioritisation. Plans for support in the Solent will be implemented as we gain experience of operating HMS Queen Elizabeth from her home port. |
