The big problem is that fusion has reached its end-game in military applications: we have the h-bomb. Sure, there's the hypothetical fusion submarines and carriers, but what do those really provide beyond their fission equivalent?
If we could find some novel thing that fusion power solves for the military, then fusion would be solved.
