Sure, but an aircraft carrier does not help Whiteman AFB, Missouri.

Yeah. Those are really useful in Kansas and North Dakota.

They’re called aircraft carriers.

The reactors on an aircraft carrier are considerably larger and not exactly portable.

...Nimitz-class supercarriers, which have two reactors rated at 550 MWth each. These generate enough steam to produce approximately 100 MW of electricity, plus 140,000 shaft horsepower (104 MW) for each of the ship’s four shafts – two per propulsion plant.[2]
