I (and some RN officers that I happen to know) strongly disagree.

2 SSNs on station do not cover all the RN's global responsibilities.

And while the budget and crew problems exist, they are not insurmountable, especially considering small SSK/SSP crews and low prices, with around 3-4 SSKs/SSPs available per SSN in terms of both funding and crew.
