PM secretly signs up to new deterrent as UN tries to cut global threat

By Colin Brown, Deputy Political Editor Independent 02 May 2005

Tony Blair has secretly decided (?) that Britain will build a new generation of nuclear deterrent to replace the ageing Trident submarine fleet at a cost of more than £10bn - a move certain to dismay thousands of Labour Party loyalists in the approach to polling day.

This is 100% tosh. The UK has no nuclear weapons, the Trident missile war heads belong to the US. To be updated, maintained etc., they have to be returned to Kings Bay, Georgia US. The UK merely store and keep them ready for use. Use is strictly controlled by the US. John Major started the run down of all UK military nuclear capability which is now complete. Since the withdrawal of the RAF's free-fall nuclear bomb, the WE177, Trident D5 is the only nuclear system still deployed by the UK (God knows what the US have here) . The current and only UK operaable nuclear WMD the Trident II D-5 a three-stage, solid propellant, inertially guided FBM with a range of more than 4,000 nautical miles. The Trident acquisition program is said to have cost an eye popping £17BN and each missile $28 Mn. …so any replacement will be cost more than £10Bn and will be decided not by Tony or any other PM but by the US military For more >>> And @ MOD >>
