Figured it was something like that. Only thing that would suck if they did hit one or any of the other ships/subs that are nuclear powered is the nuclear contamination. Which I guess is a kind of unintended deterrent for sinking any of them for any nation that has them. Would want to fuck them up, while trying to avoid the plant in a way that also still allows them to be tugged away I guess. Though it would still get a similar impact as sinking since it removes an asset and cost so much in all logistics.
I am sure the USA gov will make an attempt to push for restocking, which will require more bodies to build them. Which they can then spin as “job creation” and any new factories needed as “bringing back manufacturing” or something. The guidance systems and computers that go into the “dumb” parts of the bombs and missiles will still be the choke point.
