Well, the design requirements for the Seawolf class were actually probably something like this!
Basically the Navy wanted a monster that go deep behind Soviet lines and tear things up before they made it out of the backyard.
"[Seawolf's] emphasis on fast tactical search speeds and a massive torpedo magazine were reflections of its design mission, which was to independently search for and kill Soviet submarines in the relatively confined and target rich northern waters of the Soviet Arctic littoral." [1]
