Britain’s Independent Deterent 2. After a visit to Aldermaston a few years ago, I noted that “no, the United Kingdom does not in any way, shape, or form have an independent nuclear deterrent.”
In 2009, then-UK PM Gordon Brown announced the UK would be willing to consider reducing the number of Trident submarines from four to three. This came as a surprise to HMG (Her Majesty’s Government), according to a leaked cable from the US Embassy in London, which contained this helpful explanatory note: “The UK Trident system consists of 160 operational nuclear warheads carried by Trident II (D5) ballistic missiles aboard four Vanguard-class nuclear powered ballistic missile submarines. The warheads and submarines are British built, but with substantial American design assistance.” Emphasis mine. Update | 9:00 11 December 2010 That phrase appears in two cables, one from 24 July 2009 and another from 24 September 2009.
