Knowing about subs I would suspect that a nuke powered sub is much faster than a diesel/electric sub.

That, too. Most of the modern AIP and diesel/electric subs are pretty fast. The streamlined hull subs use now were first tested on a D/E - the Albacore.
But they’re only fast for a little while. Then the fuel or juice runs out. A nuke can run at top speed for years
