Granted.I was trying to hammer home just how bad an idea this was.Can't just replace half your SSNs torpedoes with TLAM-Ns, it takes too many missiles to give equal coverage to Polaris. You also would have to have boats dedicated to the deterrence mission, on the grounds that an SSN is likely to be a very long way from wherever the deterrent patrol area would be, and not able to get to the deterrent area quickly due to that distance. Which makes any boat not in the deterrent patrol area not a deterrent at all.Though if the RN had gotten TLAM-Ns with American warheads, you might have signed up for SUBROCs while you were at it, and that would have been a significant increase in capabilities.
