Benefit for Nuclear Propulsion Pre-Nuclear Era Submarines were
Diesel/Electric Submarines. Maximum submergence due to batteries
was 8-10 hours. Was also very loud and trackable while operating
the Diesel Engines. Pre-Nuclear Era Submarines were Diesel/Electric
Submarines. Maximum submergence due to batteries was 8-10 hours.
Was also very loud and trackable while operating the Diesel
Engines. Post-Nuclear Era Submarines can be submerged for months,
with food for the crew being the limiting factor. Allows our
submarines to be silent and nearly undetectable. Post-Nuclear Era
Submarines can be submerged for months, with food for the crew

Benefit for Nuclear Propulsion Post Nuclear Era Aircraft
Carriers removed smoke stacks, making it safer for pilots to land
planes and significantly reducing position visibility. Post Nuclear
Era Aircraft Carriers removed smoke stacks, making it safer for
pilots to land planes and significantly reducing position
visibility. Nuclear reactors allow for Aircraft Carriers to move
faster than Pre-Nuclear Era aircraft carriers due to the high power
output. Nuclear reactors allow for Aircraft Carriers to move faster
than Pre-Nuclear Era aircraft carriers due to the high power
output.
Slide 19
Benefit for Nuclear Propulsion Nuclear Reactors on Naval
Vessels can last for 20 years before needing to be refueled. This
significantly cuts down on cost for fuel and refueling delay
times.
