Our NUCLEAR ships? Technically, I suppose Nuclear propulsion is steam-based, but I’m thinking getting regulatory feasibility might be tough.

Don’t confuse the heating with the actual propulsive source.

Nuclear is for heating. The steam is created and drives the engine. As with other heat sources such as oil. But the water is the driver.
