The RN can no longer justify single role SSBN's
...I think if you spoke to a few Matelots they may agree with you, However I would personally like to see the SSBN's converted to SSGN's and and the RAF get a nuclear tipped Stand off Weapon and Platform to deploy it. It would give the RN a covert insertion capability and the RAF a decent Long range strike platform. Flexibility is the key.
