Up until the arrival of the Jaguar, the Canberras and Phantoms carried US Bombs. The Americans provided the maintenance and the ultimate level of Security. It was the same at St Mawgan with the nuclear armed Torpedos, this time the US Navy provided the engineers while the a US Marine Corps Security detachment provided a security ring inside the RAF Police one. All were armed.
