Nuclear reactors are really heavy. Getting over the drag from that weight is a real challenge.

Also while a nuclear sub melting down in the ocean would be an environmental catastrophe it’s nothjng like one blowing up in the air.

And with the range of modern weaponry today any of the missiles or planes from ships in the ocean can reach nearly any target on earth.
