    Britain exploded her first nuclear bomb in 1952 (having done much of the early work on nuclear weapons) Britain was the third nuclear power and by the 1960's had the V bomber force.

      Well said. Shabby journalism and surprising the Navy never nailed this before broadcast. Maybe the old Navy vs RAF antipathy still exists?
      You could have gone back to the Tizard Missions in 1940 that gave (note GAVE) key research to the Yanks that opened the door for Manhattan that produced the Atomic Bomb in the first place. We should have been joint first but the Yanks closed the doors on us once they had what they needed. So we went and produced our own, bigger, bomb.
      Little Known Fun Fact: The B-29s were struggling to a) lift the bombs and b) release them so 3 Lancasters were converted by the RAF to house the two versions and flown out to stand by in case of need. The Yanks were never going to allow the old Lancaster to upstage the new B-29 and at last got one to lift the bombs. However they still couldn't release them. So they used the release systems from the Lancasters.

    Polaris was designed from the start to be submarine launched. The UK didn't have to decide where to put it. Also - the missile motors are from the US pool but the warheads, decoys etc. are British designed with the nuclear material made in the UK - a very important difference.

    I was taught that after successfully testing its own Atom bomb the UK approached the US hoping to make an agreement where they'd share info on the development of Nukes, The US refused, After that the UK was the third country to detonate a Hydrogen bomb (Operation Grapple) which led to the 1958 US, UK Mutual Defence agreement. I used the Wiki for the details.

      What Christian meant was that many German Jewish scientists, led by Albert Einstein, fled pre-war Germany and alerted President Roosevelt on German atomic weapons research. FDR responded with the Manhatten project. The British also had been doing research on atomic weapons. When the US entered the Second World War as a British ally, the Brits joined the American program for greater efficiency and access to resources.
      The British and German Jewish ex-pats were at the core of the program, but it was led both civilly and militarily by Americans. and the overall workforce of scientists and engineers in the project were Americans.
      Another interesting fact was that the US Atomic Bomb attacks on Japan in 1945 were nearly delivered by the Royal Air Force.
      The US was having technical issues adapting the new B-29 Superfortress bomber which had two bombbays for and aft of
      the wings on the fuelsilage , to carry the bulk of FAT MAN and LITTLE BOY without throwing off the center of gravity of the plane.
      As a fall back option, an RAF squadron flying Lancaster bombers,which had delivered to largest conventional bombs of the war in the TAll BOY
      bombs,and could carry the US nukes, were asked to train for the mission. With the end of the war in Europe, advanced elements of the squadron
      moved to the Pacific.At the last minute, the US solved its B-29 issues with the "Silverplate" version with one long bombbay and a reworked wing assembly.

      No, the Royal Navy has 4 ( HMS Vanguard, HMS Victorious, HMS Vigilant and HMS Vengeance ) SLBM Trident 2 D5
      submarines. Max is 16 Trident II D-5 on each submarine. Max number of missiles is 4 x 16 = 64 Trident 2 missiles.
      But the United Kingdom only lease 58 Trident 2 D5 missiles from the USA. Always one ( may be two ) SLBM sub on patrol.
      Max load of Trident 2 D5 is 14 warheads per missile. But the RN only puts 3 warheads on each missile.
      The total warhead number of U.K. is ( 4 x 16 x 3 ) = 192. yield of one warhead is about 100 kton ( tnt )
      first A bombs yield were about 20 kton ( tnt ). one sub on patrol is 16 x 3 = 48 warheads

    That first submariner was a bit reserved/understated in his answer to the amount of firepower onboard that submarine. 48 warheads each warhead has a yield of around 100 kilotons, which is around 8 times the power of the bomb which destroyed the city of Hiroshima. 48 x 8 = 384 Hiroshima bombs, give or take.

      True, but he was referring to the missiles in the tubes, not just the number of warheads, and not all the tubes are necessarily carrying missiles, and not all of the missiles are necessarily carrying warheads. The RN takes secrecy around the At-Sea Deterrent very seriously - anything less vague about Vengeance's *actual* armament could present a security risk.

      The Trident is a ballistic sub (SLBM) designed to launch a huge amount nuclear weapons with their Trident 2 missiles. The Astute class ( SSN) are smaller faster attack subs designed to sink enemy ships or subs with torpedoes. However they also carry Tomahawk cruise missiles that can also be loaded with a nuclear warhead.

      Because our foreign policy and the treaties we sign up to dictate how much firepower each sub can carry. 16 missiles with 10 warheads apiece would be 160 warheads but that would break treaties that would then give other signatories to such treaties the right to do the same.

    We have four deterrent submarines. Only three are sea worthy. Only one is at sea at any one time, with 40 individual thermo nuclear warheads aboard. (H Bombs)
    If things continue to deteriorate further, The Navy will deploy its second and third submarines to sea, armed with another 40 H bombs on each sub. They May already have put to sea.
    That will mean the Royal Navy will have 120 targeted Hydrogen bomb warheads aimed at Russia. The remaining 40 warheads will be loaded onto the submarine in dry dock under maintenance and that submarine will act as an immobile launch platform from Faslane. Guarded by the Marines. This measure will only happen as a last resort (If we assume def con 2 standby)
    So:
    That will be 160 warheads targeted on Russia in total. This will be the first time in our history that all four Vanguard subs are armed with live missiles and warheads at the same time. That those warheads will be TARGETED and on alert is even more staggering.
    Russia can make the U.K. cease to exist with a half dozen missiles and kill 60 million brits in half an hour. Fact.
    But let’s always remember we still pack one hell of a fucki** punch. British tax payers have paid hundreds of billions of pounds for decades and decades to have the deterrent.
    In Trident 🔱 as Sir Humphrey Appleby describes “ you have the rolls Royce corniche of the nuclear bomb.
    Let us all hope we return to the light before it’s to late and learn nobody can win ww3. The only way to win is not to play. Yet. If Putin invades Poland or the Baltic’s or uses nuclear weapons on civilians and on a nation who doesn’t have nuclear weapons itself. We should must and I guess will declare war on Russia.

      The Russians won't do it as long as it's made clear to them, that there is no such thing in the west as a limited nuclear exchange
      without a response in kind. The Russians seek to carve out an exemption clause where they could nuke a non-nuclear NATO state
      (Say Poland) with a tactical nuke with the idea of causing NATO to stand down in a conflict with Russia. Since the Russians
      didn't nuke Britain, France, or America, Russia hopes those nations would not go nuclear out of treaty obligation and put their
      own populations at risk in a general nuclear war. Russia sees this as a possible means of terminating a war with NATO
      on favorable terms,(throwing Ukraine and maybe the Baltic States under the bus) before NATO destroys the conventional
      Russian armed forces.
