Need tactics? The Maritime Warfare Centre is in Portsdown, on the south

Scotland last time I looked. How about the torpedoes for self-defence?
Also southern UK. Countermeasures? Ultra Electronics, also based south
of the border.


I'm sure these establishments would be happy to sell their services
for a fee. If not -- lots of other places make torpedos etc.

Spare parts come from Warton, which is - guess where? Armaments are BAE
and MBDA, which again aren't Scotland-based.


Though they do have establishments in Scotland (BAE does, I'm not
sure about MBDA). In any case, arms manufacturers are hardly likely
to refuse to sell arms.
