Of course the other side of the coin is that we are an island nation, and therefore open to invasion from the sea. In this age of global terrorism, we do need to protect ourselves, and in the best way possible. That's where the nuclear submarine comes in. Like or loathe them, these vessels and their brave occupants help to keep us safe, and are a necessary evil. The alternative doesn't bear thinking about, so next time you see one of these forboding looking submarines off our shores, spare a thought for the men and women who risk their lives in a submerged tin can in the name of 'peacekeeping'.
