Link to an older article from Global Security Newswire - http://www.nti.org/d_newswire/issues/2008/4/24/2c0a5f82-8977-4625-b202-51827f17304a.html


So the proposed SSBN-X to replace the Trident sub carrying SLBMs will also be a  SSGN-X to replace the conventional Trident SSGNs which I guess makes sense as all Trident boats will be starting their phase out by the 2028 timeline in this article. It is interesting to speculate how much the interior designs may differ for a purpose built SSGN and not a converted design. This also possibly increases the odds that the new boats will be modified Virginia's with a "missile plug".
