Protests
Camp residents have occasionally breached the security of the Naval Base by getting inside the fence, by canoeing or swimming into the base, by successfully disrupting the road transportation of the Trident missile warheads, which are heavily guarded by the Special Escort Group (Ministry of Defence Police), and by blockading the two gates. They are also active, with Trident Ploughshares and CND in large public blockades of the base, attended by members of the public and a few politicians.
