Britain's nuclear defence base at Faslane could be under threat from terrorists because aerial pictures of it are visible on Google Earth.
Detailed views of the facility on the River Clyde in Scotland are available free to users of the internet.
The images of the base show two Vanguard Class submarines at the site, which is the home of Britain's nuclear defence force.
A report in The Sun said the pictures were previously blurred out by Google at the request of the government but had reappeared following a software update.

It also shows satellite images of MI6's London offices and the SAS training facility in Hereford.
