British Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson announced on May 24 that the Sea Ceptor missile system has entered service with the Royal Navy.
“Fitting our warships with this ground-breaking technology not only protects our Navy but shows we are world leaders at sea. HMS Argyll will be the first ship to deploy with this cutting-edge system when she heads to support peace and security in the Asia Pacific region later this year,” Williamson was quoted in the press release.
The missile system is carried by the Royal Navy’s Type 23 frigates.
