we are facing 3 times bigger enemy than ourself to defend with so there is/will a less chance to defend those subs by our AF/Navy, so PN need a SSBN to fired those BM from sea from stand off range from IN defense range like mid indian ocean or near the cost from SingaporeA conventional sub weight is in several 100 to few 1000 tons so four bm there additional carriage weight won't amount more then few 100 tons in limit of sub
Only issue is range and deployment time but u don't make ssbn to go into enemy waters it's to launch bm from a safe distance what's more safe then our own warers where our air Force and navy would be providing cover nuclear has deployment time of years conventional of months even that's good enough we can make several if em at cost of single ssbn so few conventional would always be deployed on duty for dew months then replaced by other instead of single nuclear deployed for much longer time period
And what pressure issue already told u that's rockets never fired inside hull even in nuclear ssbn
As for stress/pressure diesel engine on those subs can't sustain a load of those 4 BM, you need extensions for those modified subs to fit missiles silos and related equipment hence need a bigger diesel engine so why not we could build compact miniature nuclear reactor for our subs which is more balance design than conventionally enlarge SSK with BM wihch is/will more unbalance/immature design @khanmubashir
