As a small point of order(fact) in your post. The work was actually moved to Devonport (Plymouth) not Portsmouth. This was a highly politicised decision made by John Majors Tory Govt, not hard to see why, when the Tories have hardly any votes in Scotland and Gordon Brown's constituency was adjacent to the Rosyth yard. It was a crap decision (and I am a Tory!).
