A bit of post-Cold War retroactive nervousness from the BBC.At least they let the MOD get a word in on the subject. Translated into English, what they're saying is that decoding the "go" message and launching a Trident is so complex that you'd need a conspiracy by pretty much the entire boat to pull it off.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
