SSBN strategic nuclear submarines

Yes the Putin is at least a Yellow and should be moving to an orange threat level, as his popularity???? starts to take a hit---- and it will no doubt start to suffer when the Russian people realize this despot is on a reign of terror, he will feel more pressure to "take his shirt off, and chase tigers with a spear????" and yes, you can quote me on that!
Any SSBN, even those with fewer missiles, are "Fearsome Nuclear weapons Systems."
Any nation that can get one...will get one or more. They move that nation immediately into an entirely different "club," or strategic position.
Israel's Dolphin class boats can carry only a very few missiles with a rather limited range...but enough so that its local enemies know what will happen if they ever push Israel over the edge with any type of abject strategic thereat.
India is doing the same with their new class boats...but I am sure India will ultimately have the larger capability vessels too.
Exactly, the more capability you have, the more the other guy has to wonder if its worth it, you want him to realize ahead of time, that its not!
A fourth SSBN Type 094/Jin would be in service
Aut Translation :
The three first : 409, 410 and 411 in service since 2007, 2010 and 2013 build to Huludao Bohai.
Based to Shakizou/Jiangezhuang close Qingdao and Yalong Bay/Yulin, 1st and 2nd Submarine Base, get also SSN 091/093.
It was annouced 094 with new JL-2 begin in 2014 deterence patrol, no confirmation right now.
Look like Russian Delta and also Indian Arihant, is deemed noisy.
Armed with 12 JL-2 and 12 torpedoes.

I have some dates for building, yet seems short, maybe ?

The U.S. Navy operates three kinds of submarines—nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSNs), nuclear-powered cruise missile submarines (SSGNs), and nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs). The SSNs and SSGNs are multi-mission ships that perform a variety ofpeacetime and wartime missions. They do not carry nuclear weapons.
The Ohio replacement program (ORP) is a program to design and build a new class of 12 ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) to replace the Navy’s current force of 14 Ohio-class SSBNs. The Ohio replacement program is also known as the SSBN(X) program. The Navy wants to procure the first Ohio replacement boat in FY2021, with advance procurement (AP) funding starting in FY2017. The Navy has identified the Ohio replacement program as its top priority program.
The Navy currently operates 14 Ohio (SSBN-726) class SSBNs. The boats are commonly called Trident SSBNs or simply Tridents because they carry Trident SLBMs.
Ohio-class SSBNs are designed to each carry 24 SLBMs, although by 2018, four SLBM launch tubes on each boat are to be deactivated, and the number of SLBMs that can be carried by each boat consequently is to be reduced to 20, so that the number of operational launchers and warheads in the U.S. force will comply with strategic nuclear arms control limits.
The first eight boats in the class were originally armed with Trident I C-4 SLBMs; the final 10 were armed with larger and more-capable Trident II D-5 SLBMs.
