A key feature of those subs is that it won't be six months later. It will be an hour later because one is already stationed just outside your waters. It's also a bit more sneaky than a damn merchant vessel. You really think you're getting secrecy of a nuke existing on a merchant vessel? Why? You have given the enemy intelligence agency nothing more than an entry level homework assignment. That vessel is 99/100 getting intercepted or sunk. How many of your merchant vessels are otherwise sailing towards the country that just armegeddon'd you?

Things are very routinely smuggled into countries this way today. And nukes are surprisingly hard to detect. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/detecting-nuclear-smuggling/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/detecting-nuclear... "Twice in recent years the two of us helped an ABC News team that smuggled a soda can–size cylinder of depleted uranium through radiation detectors at U.S. ports. The material did not pose a danger to anyone, but it did emit a radiation signature comparable to that of highly enriched uranium (HEU), which can be assembled into a nuclear bomb." > How many of your merchant vessels are otherwise sailing towards the country that just armegeddon'd you? Why would you put it on your own vessel?
