I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

ME, wrong abacus.

We are discussing, you may have missed the point, nookleer deterrence by UK. We have just 5 dozen launch tubes in total. We may not even have 5 dozen missiles of any flavour. We certainly don't have the capacity to launch even one boat load of CBM and then retain a nuclear capability. Certainly that deterrent would disappear in a flash if any CBM failed to work.
