According to the Labs Accomplishments from March 2011, "the first W76-1 United Kingdom trials test was performed at WETL [Weapon Evaluation Test Laboratory], providing qualification data critical to the UK implementation of the W76-1."
These "New Sticks" for the UK Navy will not solve a thing - they are just a terrible waist of money !Deterrence is a grant illusion which can only work if the enemy is deterred, but what if the enemy is not ?
Then you have a big problem on your hands !
