SSBNX.

Type II microprocessor based systems, magnetic bearings instead of lube oil, and non60hz low rpm coolant pumps instead of natty circ.

In regards to SSBNs, was/is the Ohio class good?

Also, would MIRV Trident II missiles (and the number of them carried) overcome other defects?

I'd say it was. It has so far served in its role well and even shown to be quite flexible in its role as seen in the Ohio SSGN.

4 SLBMs seems a little on the short side.
8 would be comfy, and 16 would be global power tier.
24 would be US-tier.

>>28266228
He hasn't:
1. It's not called that anymore.
2. It hasn't been built yet.
