The US Navy is a military organization, they are disciplined and have very clear procedures. Even so, accidents do happen. Also naval scale reactors are safer. Commercial utility size reactors are upscaled versions of naval or laboratory reactors, where you cannot make the same safety guarantees. Take it from Alvin Weinberg: https://youtu.be/iW8yuyk3Ugw https://youtu.be/iW8yuyk3Ugw Also, in the case of an accident, the ship usually goes down and the reactor is naturally cooled and shielded by water. Then the accident us probably classified, because we don't want Russia recovering an US sub, like the CIA did at great taxpayer expense. I think that SMRs are a way forward, even if it's a temporary solution until other safer, non pressurized reactors are developed. They draw from navy reactors and can be produced in a factory under strict QA, transported on site by truck and installed by qualified staff using clearly documented and reproductible procedures.
