Not all nukes are equal Javand.

The nuke that fits on TLAM is not the same as the nukes on the SSBNs, and neither is the probability of getting to the target.

In the same way, not all boats are the same. V boats are designed to silently bimble around submerged for months on end without being seen or heard. Astute, not so much....
