Lonewolf - India has two SSBN's officially in service, one fitting out and another under construction. they're small - around 6000 tonnes and carry 4-12 medium range missiles. Rumoured to be quite noisy - but that's a first generation design.

hey also leased an Akula - the "Chakra" but she was returned to Russia, apparently after an on-board explosion of a high pressure gas tank of some sort.

We don't get headlines about the Indian boats as they're not seen as a threat to the West
