which seems to mention desires on the territory of a neighbouring
country, a policy which largely fell out of favour in the rest of
Europe about 1938.
Spain, Ireland and various Balkan places at least have laid claim to
territory since then, and Russia has annexed territory.
Not forgetting the UK's annexation of territory in September 1955, "the
final territorial expansion of the British Empire" according to
Wikipedia. (The territory was the island of Rockall.)

It was for practical purposes only a paperwork annexation which was
also attempted by Iceland and the Irish Republic.

Denmark too.

These claims have
all been declared invalid by the United Nations as it is not
recognised as habitable land despite the efforts of an ex-SAS man who
camped on the rock for a few weeks.

And Greenpeace.

the following interesting statistics:

Total number of ballistic missile submarines:
UK: 4
Denmark: 0

Total number of operationally-available nuclear warheads:
