I fail to see how one SSN could 'knock out' two or more submarines which would be located many miles apart.

It is quite simple actually.
What you do is to send one of your SSN to track the SSBN as it leaves it's base to go onto patrol. Then, after you establish the contact you launch 2-4 cruise missiles against the SSBNs in base, with 2-4 torpedoes against the SSBN on patrol or transit.
This means that a single SSN, with a single salvo (assuming that it has 8 TTs) can destroy the entire British deterent.
