Be a shame if one of those subs ran into a Kraken and exploded
The size of the gun is immaterial at this level. There can be only an unlimited threat when one piece of a weapons arsenal is being perceived as a threat.
It isn’t the subs to fear, it is the people sailing them. It’s like guns. With the size and targeting capacity of nuclear weapons in so many country’s stores, and the reactionary threat to do nothing more than finish the effort by all the other country’s started when fired, does it make any difference that they have them? The subs don’t really do anything but create the reaction that will be the outcome. One country can’t do anything but start the dominos falling anywhere in the world. And they know that. This is why countries that can’t be trusted to contain their own stupidity should have access to the dominos.
And if it starts, those subs are immaterial in the outcome as everything will have nothing to do with anything. Plus having elements of Strontium 90, Iodine 131, tritium, Cesium 137 and Plutonium 239 introduced into the system of people, all being able to kill a few different ways for as much as 28 years like with the Strontium, after the initial destinations, what difference does it make there were some subs out there. There already are, anyway. Big deal.

“When I was twelve, I helped my daddy build a bomb shelter in our basement because some fool parked a dozen warheads 90 miles off the coast of Florida. Well, this thing could park a couple of hundred warheads off Washington and New York and no one would know anything about it till it was all over.”
