Agreed - it's something EVERY Govt has put off because it's expensive, and it might cost them votes. Everyone knows it can only realistically be at Sellafield - or maybe in salt mine in Cheshire or N Yorks. perhaps.
I'm sure the RN would love to get shot of those old hulks - they take up space, they have to be protected and even kept in some state of repair so that Plymouth & half of C Scotland aren't turned into a wasteland. All of which costs money for absolutely no return.
It really is crazy.........
