Over£530,000 needed

to support seafarers and
then‘dependants
Last year, KGFS distributed almost £530,000 to specialist Charities supporting seafarers (the Royal Navy, the Royal Marines, the Merchant seamen, the Fishermen) who are in need, together with their children, families and dependants. To allow for inflation, we need to provide much more this year. Usually, these brave seamen are in difficulties through no fault of their own. Death, disablement, all take their toll. We must age, chronic illness not let them and their dependants down. .

A trust for the Senior Service
Only those with eyes and ears firmly closed during the last few weeks could plead ignorance of the G_overnme_nt's hugelypubliciscd Trident missile decision. The _sudden announcement followed months of speculation and in turn has been succeeded by extensive debate both by the media and elsewhere. Controversv over nuclear wea ms is not exactly novel and it
remains ti dc ate on a crucial issue which may well continue in one form or another indcfinitel '. Yet. as ervicemen note the arguments with interest. it is not the debate but the decision which is now their concern. And in realising the implications of that decision the Navy must take comfort and immense pride in the the fact that it is to retain the entrustment of Britain's strategic nuclear deterrent for the rest of this century and well into the next.
Polaris pattern The successful Polaris patrols, with their established time patterns but special pressures. must have played no mean part in the weighing-up of complex factors which went into the decision to acquire even mightier rockets launched undersea from a new fleet of British nuclear submarines. Defence "experts" of many persuasions will no doubt continue to express views on whether Britain should have them and if we can afford it. Ouestions are being asked too on the effect it mi ht have on the rest of Britain's defence bu get. including the l\’avv's building rogramme. In answer. some of the the decision to go for Trident thinking is reported on this page. _

Texts of letters exchanged between the Prime Minister and the U.S. President were published in July as the announcement came that the Royal Navy is to have four new submarines as Britain's strategic nuclear force. In her letter to the President. Mrs. Thatcher said. “Having reviewed the options. the Govhas concluded that the Trident l weapon system best meets the need to maintain a viable nuclear deterrent capabilityinto the Zlst ernment
Century." In his
reply. President Caner said. "The United States attaches significant importance to the nuclear deterrent capability of the United Kingdom and to close co-operation between our two Governments in maintaining and modernising that capability. To further that objective. the United States is prepared to supply the United Kingdom Trident l missiles. equipment and su porting services. as you propose in your ettcr. subject to and in accordance with applicable United States law and
procedure."
COMMHTED Meanwhile in a Commons statement. the Defence Secretary (Mr. Francis Pym) said. “The agreement we have reached is on the same lines as the 1962 Nassau Agreement under which we acquired Polaris. We shall design and build our own submarines and nuclear warheads here in the United Kingdom; and buy the Trident missile system complete with its MIRV capabilitv from the United States. "Once bou hi. it will be entirely in our ownershi rational control. but we shall commit t e who e force to NATO in the same way as the Polaris force is today. "The new force will enter service in the early l990s and will comprise four or five boats. We need not decide about a fifth boagfor another two or three years. and we are leaving the option open meanwhile." On costs. the Minister said. "We estimate the capital cost of ti four-boat force. at today's as u to five billionpounds. spread over 5 years. c ex ct rather over half of the expenditure to fal in the 1980s. We intend to accommodate this within the defence bud ct in the normal way alongside other major orcc

improvements.
'
"We remain determined to uphold and where ncccssa_ry strcn then our all-round defence, capability: and t is applies for our conventional forces no less than to our nuclear forces.
EWF10KMENT ''I intend that as much work as ssible should go to British industry. At least 7 per cent of the total cost will be spent in this country. and that will be reflected in a substantial amount of
cmlgloyment." described the Trident decision c
as
of
“cardinal importance." A memorandum published by the Minister at the same time ives the Government's reasons for the choice 0 Trident. "Since I969 there has
been a moment when our Polaris force did not have at least one submarine on patrol. effectively invulnerable to pre-emptive attack and at high readiness to launch its missiles if re uired.’ says this document. 'o one could define exactly when the Polaris force would have to be based out. There were complex operational an technical factors. some of them hard to predict. and the likely rospect in several respects was of gradually cclining effectiveness and mounting cost and risk rather than gibrupt cut-off points or failures. though the possibility of these could not always be ruled never
.

After mentioning the Chevaline programme. the memorandum says that the Government had concluded that responsible planning must look to progressive replacement of the present force be inning in the early _l990s. c-e uipment roviding onlyasmalladvance in capa ility coud before lon prove a false economy, and ex ricnce wit Cheval_ine costing about a bil ion pounds to modernise one aspect of the total force showed that mid-life improvement could be a heavy task. _

OPWONS A wide variety of system options which might at least in theo be available had been looked at, including iffcrcnt launch platfortns —

offered."
On the number of missiles per boat. eight. l2. l6 and 2-! had been considered and the reasons are given why planning is going ahead for I6.
INSURANCE "Deciding
the number of boats is more difficult. Four is the minimum needed to sustain without fail at least one always on patrol. System irnprovements may improve the ratio of operational to non-operational time. but not to the int at which a force of three submarines could sure of sustaining continuous patrol ftir more than a few years. "A force of five can maintain two on continuous patrol. yet because force overheads do not rise with numbers, the extra cost woul not exceed 15 per cent. A fifth boat would also offer a margin of insurance against possible risks. such as marked relative improvement in Soviet ASW or losing a boat by accident or ma’or unforcsccn defect. "But the skil and dedication of our rsonncl have enabled us to manage success ully with four boats for over a decade. and the extra capital cost of a fifth in the Trident era. though modest in proportionate terms. is still very Iar e in absolute tertns perhaps in the order of million." No immediate decision was needed and the Government is to ltcc the 0 tion open and take a final decision in l 82 or 983.
