“...only aircraft carriers and some submarines are equipped with nuclear propulsion.”

I didn’t know that. For some reason, I thought we had a few cruisers that were nuclear-powered.

At any rate, this is pretty big stuff, if it pans out. A conventionally-powered ship that can refuel at will would have a significant advantage over one that could not.

Used to have 8 nuclear cruisers but they are gone. All our subs are nuclear.
