    Diesel subs are also different kinds of beasts. They’re terrible for international conflict, but for short range operations, they’re silent. You can turn off a diesel engine, but not a nuclear reactor.

      Has anyone tried making a reactor that can be turned off? Seems like an easy upgrade to make them silent in the short term.

        I’d imagine it’s not doable because of how quickly they’d develop insane amounts of heat.
