Diesel-electric attack boats, I think. I know one of our resident bubbleheads will correct me if I'm wrong, but I have never heard of a diesel boat that could cross the ocean and launch a strategic high-trajectory ballistic missile. That's usually the province of a SSBN (nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine).
