Yes I read somewhere that a modern strategic submarine contains more explosive firepower than all the bombs dropped by all sides in World War 2 !!

Problem is it's an all or nothing weapon.

It's an interesting thought though that if one of those was caught unawares on the surface even by a Swordfish !! (let alone a modern anti-sub aircraft weapons system) it might just find itself in a bit of trouble.
