Sir Keir Starmer could scrap the next generation of Royal Navy destroyers in his long-overdue defence plan.The Prime Minister could delay - or drop - plans to build Type 83 destroyers, which would have replaced the Navy's ageing fleet of Type 45 destroyers between 2035 and 2038.The plans have been put on the backburner amid a bitter funding row between the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the Treasury over Sir Keir's Defence Investment Plan (DIP).A final decision on the new class of destroyer would be decided ahead of the long-delayed plan's publication - potentially Thursday - but officials are still negotiating what projects the Government will fund.
