Nuclear power plants on land could be used to generate power for producing synthetic hydrocarbons, which would in turn be used for powering ships. But putting nuclear reactors on merchant ships is totally impractical for security reasons.

This is true. Naval reactors need to be relatively small and light, which means that they end up using HEU fuel, which is a security risk.
