Most first SSBN are test beds. Its clear that no real SSBN are built with only 4 launch tubes.

let me remind you....this subs are to carry nuke war heads not conventional ones so i do thing 4 launch tubes with 3 missiles each---12 missiles would be a potentially dangerous ...

ps it is dangerous even if it only carries one nuke missile

Arihant reactor will be critical in jan or feb 2012 according to the given source. Any info regarding this.

[When is the Pressurised Water Reactor, which uses enriched uranium as fuel, on board India's nuclear-powered submarine, Arihant, going critical?

I was actually hoping that it would be started up by the end of this year, but I am told now that it will be commissioned in January or February 2012. Some things are yet to be settled.]
