...would it be a viable option to use a east coast base in the USA for the bombers?
Below is a link to a BBC piece from a few months back.

View on US option is, broadly, technically possible, politically and strategically undesirable.

If the divorce happens and if Trident is kicked out, I guess it will be a case of 'needs must' until a longer term solution is agreed, and the US option could be the least worst provided the US is prepared to assist.
