Re:You are an idiot (Score 1)

Since we took them away from the RAF, the UK's nuclear fleet is our only nuclear capability. Considering even the French manage to bear four SSBN and an airlaunch capability, I think maintaining the Trident fleet is the least we can do. We really can't be shown up by the French .. And as to the actual article, the comment made to the BBC regarding trusting the navy is spot on. If you don't trust your Senior Officers with a nuclear arsenal, don't send them off to sea with 40-off warheads.
