If Scotland breaks away from the UK, it'll be bad news for the USA. The UK’s nuclear missiles are in Scotland and the Scots, if they become independent, likely will shut them down. That will leave England to build new ones in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland. The expense, couple with the outcry in the UK of building more nuclear sites, make it probable no such sites will be built. So, an ally of ours will not be able to launch nuclear missiles.

I was always lead to believe that the US top brass thought of the British nukes a prestige thing for Britain. No way would they be allowed to use them without US approval and would rather Britain spent the £100 billion pound cost on conventional forces.

The UK's nuclear missiles are all on four Trident ballistic missile subs which are pretty mobile. There's already talk that if the Scots vote to leave then the Brits will rent space from the U.S. at Kings Bay in Georgia where the U.S. Atlantic Fleet Trident subs are homeported.
