The UK's fleet of 4 Trident submarines is based in a sea-loch (fjord) not far from Glasgow, Scotland's largest city. As you might expect, this isn't a particularly popular policy for a lot of people in Scotland.

A very interesting article on the UK's "independent" deterrent by Charlie Stross can be found at:
