Another nuclear sub stops over in Gibraltar

GIBRALTAR (Agencies) The American nuclear submarine USS Florida is making a routine stop in Gibraltar for supplies. The sub is part of the US naval force deployed in the Libyan conflict. Reports say that it is not carrying nuclear weapons and therefore presents no threat of radiation to the area. Environmentalists, however, say that "we don't need nuclear reactors on land here, we have them afloat." The Spanish government is never pleased with these visits, however short they may be, and says it "hopes it will leave soon."
