A second nuclear submarine to Gibraltar is reported to arrive

The conservation group Verdemar Ecologistas en Acción has denounced the arrival at the Gibraltar naval base of a second nuclear-powered submarine, after a US nuclear submersible did so last Wednesday.
As reported by Verdemar in a statement on Sunday, it is the British submarine HMS Audacious, of the Astute class, with which there are already two nuclear submarines that remain docked in the bay of Algeciras, after last Wednesday the American USS Georgia did it.
British submarine HMS Vigilant.
Verdemar denounces that “these submarines are real floating bombs and put our families and our environment at risk. We do not accept submarine operations in the Mediterranean, we are committed to denouncing these entries in all countries bordering the Mediterranean.”
The environmental group recalls that, since HMS Tireless was repaired, more than 10 years ago, more than a hundred nuclear-powered submarines have passed through Gibraltar.
The Spanish government already presented last Wednesday a diplomatic complaint to the United States for the arrival in the bay of Algeciras of the USS Georgia. Now, the situation has worsened, with the presence in the area of two nuclear-powered submersibles.
