As far as number of warheads, a couple hundred has generally been considered adequate as deterrent - China had that many for decades, before building up to 400 or so

I dunno I guess in the end no-one's nuking anyone any time soon. I'm more worried about economic warfare, cyber nonsense and the undermining of political processes. I just hope the establishment here has some pride.

So we have four Vanguard subs. 'However, as of the 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review, the Royal Navy loads only eight of the missile tubes with the Trident II submarine-launched ballistic missiles, each armed with up to eight nuclear warheads.' (wikipedia)
