Scrap UK Nuke Subs?

Most of the UK submarine fleet is built/based in Scotland. And with the new British nuclear submarines behind schedule, some of the Scots are pushing for the Royal Navy to scrap them altogether:
Nationalists called yesterday for the UK government to abandon the Trident replacement programme after a new report warned that it would be very difficult to deliver the project on time and in budget.
The National Audit Office (NAO) said the replacement of Britain's nuclear deterrent on time and within budget presented the government with 'considerable challenges'.

  1. The Scottish National Party (SNP) have been anti-nuclear for years- this is repetition of an existing policy.
