Description: For over forty years the Naval Base on the Garelach has provided a home for the United Kingdomssubamrine launched nuclear deterrent, initially the Resolution class submarines and latterly the Trident armed Vanguard class submarines.
This article briefly details the history of the Clyde Submarine Base, from its origins as a Military Port constructed during the early years of World War 2 and operated by the army; followed by the first permanent presence of submarines in the Gareloch; its commissioning in the 1960s as the home for the newly formed Polaris Submarine Squadron; until the mid-1990s, when its name was changed to HM Naval Base Clyde to reflect its expanding role and new responsibilities.
