Understood...but its size and the reactor itself (no matter how you cut it, a reactor is still inherantently louder than batteries) will restrict its overall effectiveness in the littoral regions IMHO. Too expensive, too big, and too capable to risk sending in there IMHO, we need our own diesel electrics in my view.

Sicne the EU refused to build D/Es for Taiwan as part of Bush's 2001 arms deal, the D/Es were and still might be (pending Taiwan's own politics) built here. There is a chance that we might adopt that.
