Defence Secretary John Nott announced deep cuts in manpower and ships to fund modernization of Britain's nuclear deterrent. The plan reduces the escort fleet to 50 ships, retires 11 more vessels, and pays off 10,000 sailors by 1986 while keeping West Germany troop levels at 55,000. Britain will spend at least $10 billion of a $160 billion defence budget on new Trident missiles and 60 U S Harrier jets.
