The Royal Marines who guard the UK’s nuclear deterrent have trained alongside their US counterparts to sharpen the skills required for their vital role.
Personnel from 43 Commando Fleet Protection Group are tasked with stopping unauthorised access to the UK’s nuclear weapons and the Vanguard-class nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarines that carry them.
Based at Clyde Naval Base – where the submarines operate from – they must maintain extremely high standards of combat skills, including fighting in tight and closed-quarters environments.
