If "sir" #starmer wants to build 4 new #nukesubmarines in Barrow, he should arrange to have the completed vessels to have a permanent base in Barrow or in the Thames...
@alexlac51 As I understand it, Barrow doesn't have deep enough water for a fully equipped nuclear weapons sub. They're floated out of there 'light', and have heavy equipment (including missiles) loaded up when they reach Faslane. The Thames obviously doesn't.
The only places in England which do have deep enough water are in Devon and Cornwall, but, unfortunately, English people live there, so of course they're not suitable sites either.
