Would not do them any good, without the skilled manpower to operate and maintain it

  As I understand it, naval reactors are cooled by seawater. Couldn't the coolant be diverted, causing the reactor to overheat and eventually meltdown? How dangerous a naval reactor meltdown would be I have no idea.

    Definitely not good, but wayyy less dangerous for humans and the environment than a huge oil spill

      The fuel would still be contained so I would say so too.

        Even if it wasn’t and sank uncontained to the bottom of the ocean, water makes a good radiation shield.
