  • THE HISTORY of SUBMARINE SQUADRON FOURTEEN Some of the Information Is from a Book That Is in the Castle House Museum, Dunoon, Scotland
    SubRon 14 The Text History Page 1 of 9 Some of The History of SubRon 14 and Scotland This page is the text history of SubRon 14 Last update 10 September, 2009 THE HISTORY OF SUBMARINE SQUADRON FOURTEEN Some of the information is from a book that is in the Castle House Museum, Dunoon, Scotland The closure of the U.S. Navy’s fleet ballistic missile submarine refit site in Holy Loch, Scotland not only brings to a close an important era in the development and deployment of the undersea nuclear deterrent force, but also concludes a joint effort by the people of the United States and the United Kingdom to maintain world peace. During the 1950's, the tensions of the Cold War resulted in the adoption of a policy of nuclear deterrence as the ultimate option in the overall concept of flexible response. The United States pursued a program that relied on three elements of strategic deterrence: the manned bombers of the Strategic Air Command, land based intercontinental ballistic missiles and a force of nuclear powered Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) submarines. The successful development of nuclear propulsion and the rapid increase in the sophistication of missile propulsion and technology during the decade gave viability to the submarine missile concept. The atomic submarine, with extensive submerged endurance and self-sufficiency, was virtually undetectable, thus offering much greater stealth and deterrence value than more traditional strategic bomber and static land based systems. SUBMARINE SQUADRON FOURTEEN IS ESTABLISHED The first missile system developed to be deployed on the FBM submarine was the Polaris A-1.

  • Argyll and Bute Council Bute and Cowal Area Committee
    ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL BUTE AND COWAL AREA COMMITTEE Community Services 4 February 2014 Rezoning Request by Strone Parent Council 1. SUMMARY 1.1. Strone Primary School Parent Council made a formal request to the council in September 2013 to consider rezoning their current catchment area. 1.2. Rezoning requests received since 2010 have not been considered due to the advice from the Scottish Government that the legislation was not fit for purpose and subsequently the report of the Commission for Rural Education which recommended amendments to the legislation. 1.3. The Council administration has made it clear that they have no plans to review the school estate at this time and the recommendations in the report prepared by the Commission for Rural Education are being considered by the Scottish Government and COSLA, joint commissioners of the report. However, none of the 38 recommendations in the report would prevent us from reviewing school catchment areas at this time 1.4. Three requests relating to rezoning of catchment areas have now been received by the Executive Director of Community Services, these being: • Strone Primary School – Sandbank Primary School • Achahoish Primary School – Tarbert Academy (Primary dept) • North Bute Primary School – Rothesay Joint Campus (Primary dept) This report refers to the first of these three requests. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS Following consideration at the Bute and Cowal Business Day on the 7 th January 2014 that the Bute and Cowal Area Committee: 2.1. Considers the request of Strone Parent Council to increase the catchment area of Strone Primary School (PS). 2.2 Supports the recommendation that if the proposal be approved existing children and younger siblings would not be required to transfer school for the duration of their primary education as a result of the proposal.
