Could you please expand on this
"c) we wouldn't relinquish sovereignty by sending nuke boats back to the US or UK for overhaul/refuel."
1. Why would we be relinquishing sovereignty ?
2. What would be the problem sending a boat back to the US for refurb / maintenance if that's where it came from ?
Especially if / since we have such a good relationship with the US
and able to jump on the back of their nuke sub facilities.
