Nope..we still have a large number of submarines. Decomissioned submaries are held in reserve for a period of time until they are disposed of. Some are scrapped, others placed in reserve.
I was counting fleet reserve numbers too. These numbers change often, and I may be out of date, but I know that it usually stays around 100-129.
There are also more in the building stages right now. The NSSN is currently in production.

Second paragraph is misleading. Meant with the reserve fleet, numbers could be as high as 129.
