The U.K. Ministry of Defense has confirmed that the Royal Navy’s forthcoming Type 26 City class frigates will be armed with the Stratus missiles, being developed under the Future Cruise/Anti-Ship Weapon (FC/ASW) program. The missiles will provide an important boost to the Royal Navy’s standoff land-attack and anti-surface warfare capabilities from the early 2030s.
