Trouble, in the case of the trident program...is that 3/4 of them -can be- destroyed and the remaining sub really isn't capable of inflicting retaliatory armageddon the way their full fledged us counterparts are. They are smaller, carry fewer missiles, and fewer warheads...and there would only be one of them left to retaliate...if it could retaliate at all....and that;s assuming that british allies haven't already turned the world to glass.
I, like you...don't know why we keep pumping money into cold war relics, on either side of the pond, regardless of whatever inconsequential differences we may have in what we take to be sneaky, lol. It would seem to me, that a competent modern MAD policy would center around bioweapons, not nukes or subs.
