Criticism of SNP policy on Trident

A plan by the SNP to expel Royal Navy nuclear-warhead submarines from an
independent Scotland would imperil European security, according to Rear
Admiral John Gower, a former assistant chief of defence staff. Gower, a
former submarine commander, warned that forcing out Trident subs would
leave the West seriously exposed. His interview with The Sunday Times came
after President Putin put Russia’s nuclear forces on a higher alert.
