While it probably consumes more energy than it produces, it eliminates the long supply line. Nuclear powered aircraft carriers could fuel their own aircraft, and fuel ships would not need to leave the fleet and travel thousands of miles to refuel.

There would be tremendous savings in cost due to travel and valuable tactical advantages.

Not totally, the surface escort ships are all non-nuke and will need a fuel supply. Like someone else posted, you still need food too.

The reactor would have to be upscaled at least a factor of 10 to make enough fuel for the aircraft and escorts, with the increased cost and if the size of the ship is kept constant, a loss in carrying capacity.

Bottom line, I bet it will not be worthwhile.
