Can't find a card for Triton on here for a quick comparison. It's already a point higher than it should have been and we don't want to totally obsolete it if possible. Most might think that has happened already but thinking in an early war context, Pre-Truculent.
"That's right son, join the navy. Get behind a bloody big gun and knock the hell out of somebody"
"We went out, got our arses kicked, then came back again"
For some reason I had it in my mind that Triton had multiple SAs. 'Playing' off 14 for Triton as it should have been, I still see Truant at similar cost to Truculent. Dropping below will definitely make Triton look less and less attractive. I see Truant/Truculent on a par, with Triton being just a little more for Infiltrator.

HMS Truant Points -12 UK - Sub 1939 Speed 1 TT 3 3 2
A3 V6 H2
SUBMERGED SHOT: This unit can make Torpedo attacks against local enemy Submarines.
FIGHTING INSTINCT: When this unit damages or destroys an enemy Ship with its Torpedo attack for the first time, it rolls one extra attack die when making Torpedo attacks for the rest of the game.
HMS Truant had a busy war, fighting all three axis powers within the first three years of conflict. During the Norwegian Campaign she fatally crippled the light cruiser Karlsruhe. In the Mediterranean she sank several vessels over a prolonged period before being sent to the far east to try and disrupt the Japanese invasion areas, again sinking several auxiliaries. Throughout the war she survived several depth charge attacks, which coupled with being one of the few, first batch of T-Class boats to survive the war, earned her a veteran reputation.

I did some major editing to the flavor text to reduce the number of sub-clauses. I am still not super happy with it, but it is a little smoother I think.
