Yes there would be a few older DD due for withdrawal, however the B9s are being used to upgrade single deck allocations, which will reduce the single deck fleet age from 18yrs to 13yrs. Id imagine once X1 DD arrive next year, this will lead to further older DD being withdrawn and further reduction of fleet age
