Hi Boffin,
Just me reading too many things, most of which predict doom and gloom.

Prince of Wales would be completed on 'foreign soil' which contradicts British policy but the build was started in a United Kingdom so no spanner

Trident however = big spanner

Scotland remaining in the UK might lead to big spanner for Portsmouth ship building capability.

Another spanner might see the closure of either Devonport or Portsmouth Naval bases. Lots of reading, lots of possible spanners but the build of the carriers will probably continue post an independant Scotland... My bad for the confusion of that post.

Do you disagree with my observation about Trident (I always respect your input)
