1. It was possible to argue that, because the Polaris missile was supplied by the United States, the British Nuclear Deterrent was no longer independent.
2. But missiles like Polaris and Minuteman and the Russian SS could make the journey within half-an-hour and arrive at 10,000 miles per hour, rendering the SAMS impotent.
3. There were to be twenty-five surface ships, each armed with eight Polaris missiles.
4. Allowing Britain to buy Polaris also ran counter to Eisenhower's plan that was still being worked up in Washington for the creation of a mixed-manned European multilateral nuclear force.
5. In order to help accommodate the costs of the Navy's new carrier, CVA 01, and Polaris, and the RAF's TSR 2, such projects as the Army's Blue Water artillery missile were cancelled in August 1962; and, despite the pressure on Army manpower, it was decided to run down the Gurkhas from 14,600 to 10,000 rather than cut any more British battalions - a decision that had to be reversed nine months later to meet the needs of the Borneo campaign.
6. Chevaline in all had risen in cost from 350 m. in 1974 to over 1 billion by 1982, on top of the Polaris missile programme-even though by this time US-Soviet arms limitation agreements had made Chevaline redundant.
7. They watched the progress of Polaris closely, but made no bid for it because to have done so would have loaded the Naval votes with its costs at the expense of the rest of the Fleet.
8. Superconductivity: review of the UK national superconductivity programme , is available from Irene Sullivan, SERC, Polaris House, North Star Avenue, Swindon SN2 1ET.
9. Macmillan played on Kennedy's political instincts by suggesting that a failure to honour Eisenhower's Polaris pledge could sink the Macmillan Government and lead to the election of an anti-American alternative, either Conservative or Labour - anti-Americanism not being confined to one party.
10. The main variations are caused by the phasing in of major re-equipment programmes: Polaris in the latter half of the 1960s; RAF re-equipment in the early 1970s; Army re-equipment in the mid-1970s; the Tornado programme in the mid-1980s, and the start of the Trident programme in the late 1980s.
11. Though some of the President's advisers wished to use the crisis to drive Britain out of the nuclear deterrent business altogether, Kennedy had no intention of doing so, and insisted on a formula being found that would enable Britain to buy Polaris without jeopardizing the US policy of working towards a NATO Multilateral or Multinational nuclear force.
12. The occasions that stand out in the three decades of our post-imperial era are: Duncan Sandys' 1957 decision to recommend the end of National Service, which almost halved the Army; the Kennedy/Macmillan Polaris agreement at Nassau in 1962 that led to the RAF losing responsibility to the Royal Navy for the British nuclear deterrent; Denis Healey's scrapping of the TSR2 in 1965, which threatened to "unhorse" the RAF's knights; his cancellation of the aircraft-carrier replacement programme in 1966, which did much the same thing to the Royal Navy; and John Nott's attempt in 1981 to maintain the strength of the Rhine Army and RAF Germany at the expense of our maritime capability.
13. No formal agreement was made on the Polaris alternative, because Eisenhower hoped to persuade NATO to accept the system as part of his Multilateral force idea.
