Was this nuclear powered or nuclear armed? Just curious about the usual dis ingenuous scare mongering use of the terms nuclear submarine.
Nuclear powered attack boat, not a boomer.
Nuke Power
While rutting around the .net I found this:

I’ve tried several times to copy and paste but it’s blocked so use the LINK above to read some info like Yes there were Nuke Weapons onboard as well as being Nuke Powered.
Also a bit more Detailed Cause of Loss on both Boats.
Again, I send My Condolences out to All Family Members for Their Losses of Loved Ones.
And I Pray for Safety of Our Military, All Branches around the World as They put Their Lives on the line 24/7/365 so We Civilians can putter around on our daily business.
