Blue water

- The phrase "blue water" also refers to deep water; see Maritime geography.
Blue Water was a code name for a
British nuclear missile under development in the
1960s. Blue Water, like
Blue Streak, was a planned homegrown nuclear deterrent for use against the
Soviet Union. Unlike Blue Streak, Blue Water was envisaged as a surface to surface missile to be used against ground troops: a battlefield nuclear weapon. Blue Water was planned to be operational by
1966 but in
1962 Prime Minister
Harold Macmillan scrapped the project.
