    That's the crane to build the aircraft carrier(s) that we don't have any planes for.

    You could only jepordise naval security if you disclose the location of the rn nuclear row boat.

    Great Scott! Even you know about the boat! Guard! Guard! Bolt all the doors; hammer large pieces of crooked wood against all the windows! This security leak is far worse than we'd imagined!

    (to misquote slightly ;-))

    The crane we had to have the Chinese build so we could pretend at building aircraft carriers.

    This is the location of the RN nuclear "row of boats".

    Otherwise known as the decommissioned 4 R-class ballistic missile and 3 Valiant / Conqueror class nuclear submarines tied up alongside at Rosyth that nobody knows what to do with. Nice aerial images courtesy of Bing. Still not allowed to photograph Torness though!

    "the ship had to be weighed down".

    I was just a little bit sick in my mouth when he said that.

    Kaputnik: Still not allowed to photograph Torness though!
    And don't you forget it! It's a tactical nuclear power station. It's on the front line when the commies attack, now that the subs and vulcan bombers have been mothballed...

    You don't need to photograph Torness, just look at it on Google...
