Peace activists have filmed a nuclear submarine being moved in the early hours of yesterday to the Faslane base in a secret operation.
The vessel, believed to be the HMS Vanguard, which was dented after a collision with a French nuclear submarine in the Atlantic, was moved from the explosive handling jetty at Coulport on Loch Long to the naval base at Faslane on Gare Loch, Scottish CND said.
It was filmed arriving at around 3am after being escorted by a convoy of tugs, military police boats, Royal Marine inflatables and helicopters hovering overhead after an operation which is thought to have started at around 8pm on Thursday.
The whole affair obviously threatens the Royal Navy's intentions of building 4 new Trident submarines.
Any UK publicity about its ballistic missile submarines appears to be bad publicity - particularly when they and their replacements cost so much in these times of recession.
