Do you realize how much it costs to do nuclear on a ship? It’s not financially viable. The US Navy only uses it because they don’t want to have to fuel carriers

Do you realize how much it costs to do nuclear on a ship? It’s not financially viable. The US Navy only uses it because they don’t want to have to fuel carriers.
- teaearlgraycold 3y agoDoes it need to be financially viable if you’ve got the military budget at your disposal?
- jrockway 3y agoI don't know if we need any more military scope creep. The military already has to deal with Russia v. Ukraine, Israel v. Gaza, pirates blowing up ships in the Suez canal, North Korea rattling its sabers, and an almost-inevitable invasion of Taiwan.
- ok_dad 3y agoThe military budget isn’t some unlimited supply of cash coming from the void. I’ll agree if we cut one carrier for each nuclear container ship or two that we add, then we’re not spending more.
