There would be another nuke sub for the SSBN which would differ from the SSN as follows: carries ballistic missiles, weaker attack, same defense, slightly slower (still faster than a conventional sub).
A better example would be the OH Perry class (frigate) or A Burke class (destroyer) that have impressive anti-submarine systems.
The point of a SSBN is to hide where your nukes are, so the other guy can't take 'em out with a pre-emptive strike.
