HMS Glasgow is the first Type 26 frigate to be built for the United Kingdom's Royal Navy.[14] The Type 26 class will partially replace the navy's thirteen Type 23 frigates,[15] and will be a multi-mission warship designed to support anti-submarine warfare, air defence and general purpose operations.[3]
Construction
The ship is being assembled on the River Clyde in Glasgow.[16] The first steel was cut for Glasgow in July 2017 with the ship expected to be delivered in 2024 and operational in about 2026.[17][18][19] However, those dates have since moved to the right. In January 2018, work started on the second hull section.[20]
In January 2020, the Royal Navy announced that the ship was more than halfway through construction.[21]
In July 2020, the Royal Navy announced that work on the final section of Glasgow has started.[22]

On 18 April 2021, the fore section of the ship moved out from its building shed on the Clyde.
On 1 May 2021, was joined with its aft section for the first time.[23][24]
On 25 November 2022, in preparation for tow to the BAE Scotstoun shipyard for her fitting out.[25]
On 13 May 2023, the Global press reported that fitting out had been temporarily suspended, after workers reported the ships cabling had been sabotaged.[26]
Commissioning was anticipated by late 2026 to be followed by a work-up period prior to reaching initial operating capability.[27] In October 2022, the Secretary of State for Defence, Ben Wallace, stated that the initial operating capability (IOC) for the ship had slipped from 2027 to 2028.[28] In May 2023, UK Defence Journal reported that around 60 of the ship's cables had been cut, sabotage possibly related to a pay dispute.[29]
