What is happening to HMS Gannet?

Hi
With the standing down of RN SAR by 2017. I was wondering what will happen to HMS Gannet?

Without the SK's is there a justification for retaining the Base?
At present we have russian subs practically beaching themselves on the Clyde waiting for the Bombers to deploy out of Faslane and due to lack of LRMPA etc. I would have thought there was justification for at least a Flight of Merlins to be stationed there?

Cheers
