SSBNX
While doing some further research on modern submarines -- LA-class and above -- I came across some interesting photographs, which I've posted. Namely, in my opinion, is the arrangement of the stern planes. And, in at least one published photograph, a submarine of apparent Virginia class with the same stern plane arrangement -- an X-arrangement. As well, according to published data, the SSBNX -- Ohio-class replacement program -- utilizes a propulsor (note, not a propellor) similar to the Virginia class. Numerous other interesting additions and changes.
I know SSBN's don't fight other submarines -- as has been written about here and elsewhere -- but they are equipped to fight, or return a fight (return fire). I might be worth considering adding the SSBNX to this game. Maybe?
