Hunter-killer subs, I think. Smaller, faster ones designed to track and engage ballistic missile subs with torpedoes before they can launch all/some of their payload in the event of a war. By which I mean they're supposed to be trailing every known missile sub that's within striking range, ready to fire at a moments notice if it starts launching missiles.
Are there any tactical nuclear submarines (ie. Without retaliatory capacity)? Kinda seems a little pointless.

There could be. I dunno
