What difference would it make (except ramping up costs) to spread transport bases around the UK when one sub could still disable 3 or 4 bases from the same firing position? Having 2 bases a hundred miles apart is just adding cost for my appreciative benefit.
Edited to add that no uk armed forces bases in the UK have deployed missile defences so no matter how many you have they could all be destroyed in a surprise commencement of hostilities.
Severodvinsk-class is the NATO designation old boy. You may have heard of NATO?
Regardless of cost, it makes good sense to not have all your resources in one basket.
Sounds like you've got the white flag out already.
