The UK maintains its own warheads and its own designs. The only thing it gets from the US is the submarine missile: the hulls are also domestic.

I stand partially corrected; however it is worth noting that its "own designs" consist of a single warhead "closely based on" a US one. Although nominally the UK maintains the capacity to design a new weapons system, this capacity has not been tested.
