Original Note:
A statement made in this article falsely suggests that the UK needs permission of the United States to launch a Trident missile. This is not true as the UK Prime Minister retains full operational control via prepared standing orders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trident_(UK_nuclear_programme) https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-nuclear-deterrence-factsheet/uk-nuclear-deterrence-what-you-need-to-know
