the US doesn't have any diesel-electric subs in service they're all nukes
I understand that but we also know what the trident middle system on that ship can do and what it carries. That single sub out-powers most countries.
That's an SSGN. SSBN, the ones that carry Trident missiles, don't need, nor want, to be anywhere near the theatre in order to operate.
