Current situation is:
- 3 in service.
- 3 in production.
- 2 more to be layed down this year.

My guess is that we would get atleast 6 Boreis by 2020, which would sort of fill out the minimal requirement we have for SSBNs and would allow scrapping Delta IIIs and maybe some Delta IVs. 8 subs by 2020 is what we want to have, if it is expanded to 12 by 2025 (ie on the lines of Delta IIIs/IVs numbers) then we are golden.
