With recent reports suggesting that Bliar intends to continue with the Trident programme, but possibly cutting the force from 4 to 3 subs and a proportionate reduction in the warhead stockpile; and the opposition (Lib Dems) suggesting a further reduction (possibly to 2), could someone in the know please answer the following:
1. How will this affect retention in the Trident Fleet? Surely by reducing the force you are in effect increasing the workload on those who remain....?
2. If reports on Scottish Independence are to be believed (good luck to them.....they won't last a year!), where would the Trident force move to (seems unlikey that the English Govt would leave them in the hands of the Porridge Monkeys!)?
Alternatively, in the absence of any experts, let the informed (?) debate begin.....
