There was a discussion on here a while back - I think the Vanguards had a design shelf life of around 25 years (which was at least 5 years shorter than the USN "Ohio's") but that was stretched by overhauls to a target date of around 2028 for the first "Dreadnaught" - which would mean around 35 years in service.

God knows at what rate they can be produced
