A question is how would the Successor-class submarine be equipped? The 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review suggested boats with eight missile tubes instead of the current sixteen. How about eight dual-purpose tubes? Eight Trident tubes, eight dual-purpose tubes for Trident or cruise missiles. And as many torpedo tubes, capable of launching torpedoes or cruise missiles, as possible.

Maybe one of the most capable submarines ever built.

A pity that Argentistan doesn't have any ships left to sink.
