George Robertson was the UK's Defence Minister at the time of the 1998 Strategic Defence Review.
These two ships would be allocated to the SNF or Spearhead Naval Force along with one attack submarine and supported by one ship from the Royal Fleet Auxiliary or RFA. They would be deployed during part 1 of this two-stage operation.
