Why is nuclear-powered the standard for submarines, when not for ferry, small ships and vessels ?
In: Engineering
Ferries and small ships dock every day so they can easily refuel. Nuclear submarines, carriers, battleships, and the like are designed for voyages that last months without returning to port.
Why would you spend 1000x more to implement a design element that aenables ships to remain at sea for months when the ship is going to be docked daily?
