Devonport.


If it is supposedly safe to park them about 25 miles downriver from
Glasgow then several other places on the Thames should be OK.


Sure, though Devonport has the benefit of already being the base of
the nuclear powered attack fleet, so has all the facilities associated
with operating Submarines and handling nuclear type stuff. I expect
making room for the missile boats there wouldn't be particularly
challenging.
