At some stage yes. They're already at their intended lifespan and only got extended because it was thought that they could :
1. Help police post-Brexit fishing areas

1 is and remains valid - although whether it's actually an RN (as opposed to DEFRA) responsibility is open to question.
2 was never going to happen.
