Nuclear subs are not about firepower. The firepower is no different from diesel electris subs.
They have long range, thanks to the uninterrupted nuclear energy, and thus can be used to harass enemy ships even at long distances from the shore.
The only thing they need to bother about is food supplies.
The worry however is the noise level of nuclear power plant, which can be relatively easily picked by SONAR.
The greatest advantage of Subs is, their survivability in case of pre-emptive strike on nuclear weapons. With high resolution satellite tech, most land based [Including Mobile] nuclear weapons can be easily detected and neutralized. But there is no satellite tech to watch the underwater killers.
With no first use policy, it is a must to make sure our nuclear weapons survive, for a disasterous counter strike.
