i would say dispense with ssbns if only because its absolutley necessary due to costs.ssns could conduct sub strategic deterence with nuclear cruismissiles.
the carriers and escoerts are more crucial although if there was money enough id say have ssbns at least until the vanguard class reach obsolecence.
i think more than 13 auxiliaries would be needed also to avoid overstretch.perhaps 16-20.more catering staff to reduce workload also.
if one of the branches of service were needed to be abolished id say the air force as the RN can to a certain extent do that job.
