As are the majority of US Navy vessels bigger than the FFG class.

Not to nitpick, but since the very early 70's, we have only built nuc carriers and subs. Cruisers are now gas-turbine (read: "Big ass jet engine") powered, ditto for FFGs and DDGs.

What I was implying was ships carrying "special weapons", had nothing to do with propulsion.
