Job done, objective achieved surely??

On a more serious note, unless the additional 45mins before getting on task is a game changer (which it might be depending on AAR options, or lack thereof), it'll probably be Waddo.

If time to task is really critical, they'll have to see how much room can be found at Lossie and live with having two types on base.

Cornwall is probably a non-starter. If you need in-contact time, our boats will all be at Faslane, not Guzz. If its simulated training, you can do that remotely from Waddo.
