Say that the US has been struck by a nuke from a China after China invaded Taiwan. The GW2 wants to strike back as hard as he can to teach the CCP and the rest of the world a message. How many could we launch at one time?

Is that why 4 boomers are caught on camera within a mile of each other in Rosyth harbour. Look on google earth - I thought they were supposed to be off threatening rogue states?

ah. they appear to be only 120m long so I reckon they are the 4 decommisioned SSBN's. ~140m would indicate latest version. Anybody got any idea which they are? I ask because it would indicate that perhaps the UK MOD is taking cost saving measures a bit far if they are Trident boats.
