Currently, HMS Ocean is the largest ship in the fleet, the amphibious helicopter carrier being based on the Invincible Class design. The new aircraft carriers, HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales will easily exceed this when they enter service in 2014.

∙ 13y agoThe RN currently operates only 2 classes of frigate (anti-submarine and general purpose ships)
There are 4 Type 22 Batch 3 (Cumberland, Cornwall, Chatham, Campbeltown) which displaces 5300 tonnes and carries about 250 people
The smaller, but newer Type 23 displaces 4900 tonnes and has a crew of 180. There are about 12 of these in service, although the older ships have started to pay off and be sold.
In addition, the RN still operates 5 Type 42 Destroyers (air defence ships). The other 9 have been disposed of.
These are being replaced by 6 new Type 45 which at 7500 tonnes are significantly larger than the ships they replace, although there will be fewer of them. The first of these, 2 are in service and the remainder in various stages of build/commissioning
