Anyway, where will they park their trident submarines?

From The Scotsman (here):

THE Scotland Office minister, David Cairns, warned last night that independence would "decimate" the country's defence industry. He told The Scotsman that the Westminster government would not be prepared to award lucrative contracts for military hardware to a "foreign country" if Scotland left the United Kingdom.
... Mr Cairns's warning came after he met defence industry leaders in Edinburgh and heard their concerns about the possible impact of independence. He had told a meeting of the Society of British Aerospace Companies (SBAC) Scotland that 40,000 defence jobs north of the Border depended on the Westminster government and that the Ministry of Defence spent £950 million a year in Scotland.
... Yesterday's meeting involved about 15 senior industry figures from companies such as Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems, Thales and Goodridge.

Mr Cairns may wish to note that Thales is a French company, while I rather suspect that Goodridge is American.
