This statistic shows a distribution of respondents to a survey question designed to find out what those residing in Scotland think should happen to the British nuclear submarines currently based in Scotland if, in September 2014, Scotland votes 'Yes' to become an independent nation. In January 2014, the largest group of respondents (42 percent) said that the submarines should not continue to be based in Scottish waters.
