The Nimrod is a strategic bomber of the RAF.

Strategic bomber of what? ;^)

[akorahil]

If I recall correctly, Nimrod was a great warrior in Babylonian mythology...
It is only with modern day that 'Nimrod' has taken on a negative connotation.
I could be wrong, in which case it's all Bush's fault...

The Nimrod is an anti-sub aircraft built from the DeHavilland Comet airliner. It has incredible range and loiter time combined with a relatively high speed and a good weapons load.
It is not a strategic bomber. The last British strategic bomber, the Avro Vulcan was retired shortly after the Falklands war. If the Brits have deliver nukes they rely on Posidon missiles and Tornados.

Lord God, our power evermore,
Whose arm doth reach the ocean floor,
Dive with our men beneath the sea;
Traverse the depths protectively.
O hear us when we pray, and keep
Them safe from peril in the deep.

Not a strategic bomber. The majority of the fleet are maritime patrol variants. Three are fitted out for signals intelligence duities.
