Oh? They finally unblanked Faslane? :yeah:

Nothing really that secret about it, and if any terrorists tries to get in there, they'll find themselves on the wrong end of a Royal Marine or SBS, and that's not somewhere I'd be for love nor money. Besides, Bangor is on Google Earth IIRC, and no terrorists have bombed that, stupid Sun newspaper :damn:

BTW, there's some more old British boomers over near Edinburgh waiting to be cut up, old Resolution class SSBNs, they're on Windows Earth or whatever its called on aircraft view too:

Well you can get fairly close the the nuclear submarine base in faslane not close enough to launch a strike with rockets though but still, and they do deploy some 5,000 marines to gaurd the place the submarines dont leave the base anyway without a royal marine escort its not invincable but its highly gaurded even if a swimmer did get in !

Bear in mind there's also a parking/picnic area about 1/2 a mile up the hill from Faslane on the Glen Fruin road, it offers a lovely view of the bombers:
