An SSBN probably wouldn't be escorted by an FFG. Those are for the opened ocean. Inland, they'd probably use something like a Boston whaler with an M-60. I read in
Submarine Warfare in the Arctic: Option or Illusion? that they might create a "delousing" station, where they attempt to detect and ward off any potential trailers. I'm not sure what they'd use to do it, though. If I had to guess I'd say a P-3 or DDG. Mostly, though, SSBNs will probably be on their own, just like an SSN. The range of Trident missiles makes for a vast potential patrol area, there in lies their real stealth.

Also can be played from the aspect of an escorting FFG-7
