Which you couldn't possibly predict Labrat.
Well, on the current horizon, its unlikely that any nation is likely to develop overnight a full armoury of ballistic long range multiple warhead nuclear missiles - as such we're left with the guys who've already got them, and much as I dislike China the worse case scenario of a full scale ballistic strike on the UK alone is pretty slim. That leaves us with rogue states and foreign powers with fairly limited nuclear armouries and comparatively basic delivery systems - against which a retaliation strike with a hundred or so variable yield cruise missiles at a couple of million quid each from a fleet of hunter killer subs is more than enough of a reply.
