According to The Telegraph:
…HMS Queen Elizabeth represents…a union of peoples more precious than rubies. A British ship built in a Scottish dockyard, named by our Queen for the defence of the entire realm reflects how much stronger every constituent part of the United Kingdom is by staying together. The Defence Secretary has warned of the consequences of independence for Scotland’s shipbuilding industry, and the First Sea Lord has said that a “yes” vote could damage “the very heart” of Britain’s naval capacity. Mr Salmond has threatened to scrap the Trident submarines should he win the referendum, calling them a “weapon of mass destruction”.
