What do we need these new subs for that the existing subs can't do? These are pretty expensive to build and operate.
What could that money be used for instead, and would that have a better ROI?

Maybe advances in listening stations, satellite/elint technology has made it nearly impossible for an underwater adversary to get around unnoticed these days. maybe subs are going the way of the battleship or maybe there just isnt enough bad guys to chase.

Why spend money on a sub which must give away its location to deliver a harpoon. When money spent on hyper sonic missle technology could deliver a package anywhere in the world within an hour of placing your order.
