US shipboard reactors use highly enriched (93%, literally weapons-grade because it was originally produced for warheads) uranium, that's not really desirable to distribute throughout the territory.
Even "low-enriched uranium" in a naval context just below 20% (which is the official boundary between LEU and HEU). By comparison regular "civil" nukes use 3-5% uranium.

Bring the ships to port and hook them up to the grid. Talk about swords to plowshares.

They already can do this.
We have this, they just go in ships and submarines.
