The Initial Operating Capability (IOC) for the Fleet Solid Support (FSS) programme will be met through the achievement of the entry into service of the first FSS Ship and each subsequent ship will enter service at the same capability standard. The date for FSS IOC and individual ship in service dates will not be determined until the Full Business Case is submitted and will be reliant on the delivery schedule agreed when the manufacture contract is awarded.
