[QUOTE="JRSherman, post: 1392604, member: 13432"] Nope. The ONLY current nuclear powered US Naval vessels are carriers and subs. There were supposed to be a few studies done in the next few years looking at the efficacy of bringing nuclear destroyers into the mix again(would be the first small class surface ships since the Long Beach), and more than likely it will be to support a system such as this. There's no other good reason, even with fossil fuel costs, to do it on a small boy. It'll be hard to miss anything that has one of these bad boys attached to it, unless they make it rotatable and hide it on a carrier. [/QUOTE]
