ANTI-NUCLEAR campaigners were “horrified” today after plans to host a thanksgiving service for Britain’s nuclear weapons system at Westminster Abbey were announced.
The Royal Navy is set to host a National Service of Thanksgiving to mark 50 years of the Continuous at Sea Deterrent (CASD) on May 3.
New CASD Dreadnought submarines are currently being constructed as part of a £205 billion Trident replacement scheme.
