Anyone have any estimates on what moving to Poseiden would have cost compared to developing Chevaline and continuing to support Polaris by ourselves?

There is the wiki article but…

I don’t have the figures but I remember a documentary somewhere saying that by the 80’s it would of been cheeper to build five new submarines and adopting Poseiden then developing Chaveline.
