[QUOTE="Draggs, post: 668477, member: 42052"] Scotland have the subs and jets, so might make it difficult. This is an issue, with the Vanguard subs in Faslane and all. Scotland have been vocal in their opposition to the keeping of the Tridents within their borders. Decision on the replacement of the Vanguards is expected after 2015 election, so they don't have to make a commitment, only for the rug to be pulled from underneath if Scotland choose to leave. Faslane has been tipped as the base for the Scottish navy if needed. They would also use the Eurofighter Typhoon, which has a large British contribution. If they so desired, BAE could attempt to make spare parts difficult to obtain, although for them, business is business I'd say. [/QUOTE]
