Interesting. I hadn't thought of that.
How does the Navy do the decommissioning?

I can only speak for subs, but I imagine surface vessels are similar: after the fuel rods are removed, reactor compartment(the whole reactor section of the boat) is cut out and sealed on both ends, then shipped to a long term storage facility at Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington State, where it is buried.
