Missile launch today
I can see there are one Delta 3 and five Delta 4 still in active service, servicelife is coming to an end with this very succesful class of SSBNs. The last will probably be decomissioned by the late 2020s, ie sometime 2027-2028.

Deltas are old and Boreis are coming online, no need to drag out the inevitable

Delta IV is a well-regarded sub, home, and abroad. And given that the Layner missile is quite modern and formidable, I think Deltas will easily serve an additional decade-plus. I don't think there'll be a rush to decommission them.

Or an SSGN with a massive capacity to deliver a f*ck ton of hurt.

Neither, it's getting scrapped
One that could be getting converted to spy sub is K-44 Ryazan
