The United Kingdom maintains a fleet of four ballistic missile submarines with the ability to devastate even the largest of countries. This fleet came into being after its ally, the United States, cancelled a key weapon system that would have been the cornerstone of London’s

nuclear arsenal. Fifty years later, the UK’s missile submarine force is the sole custodian of the country’s nuclear weapons, providing a constant deterrent against nuclear attack.

Here's What You Need to Remember: At 15,000 tons displacement, the Vanguards are twice the size of the Resolution class that preceded them. Although each submarine has sixteen launch tubes, a decision was made in 2010 to load each sub with just eight American-built

Trident II D-5 submarine launched ballistic missiles.

When the time is right, we need to demonstrate more effectively. Stop marching up and down street. Get militant. Now is the time to plan.
