Amazingly enough EVERY carrier that has fought in air-to-air and ship -to ship action used oil

there is no reason for N Power if the rest of the battle group still use oil

We don't have a large commercial Nplant available and it would take years to develope one
1. So what?

2. Illogical argument, there would be more oil for the carrier's 'entourage' if the carrier doesn't need it.

3. Tough to believe that the reactor design used in our submarine fleet could not be modified. The Americans seem to be more than happy to share similar reactor designs between surface and sub-surface types.
