We already have nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers. The popular joke is that all military/navy/etc equipment is built by the lowest bidder.

On the bright side: if a nuclear reactor melts down in the middle of the ocean, there’s basically nothing around to be inconvenienced by that event.

Those nuclear aircraft carriers have a bit more military protection than an arbitrary nuclear cargo ship will.
