Nuclear navy : ウィキペディア英語版 | Nuclear navy
Nuclear navy, or nuclear-powered navy consists of naval ships powered by relatively small onboard nuclear reactors known as naval reactors. The concept was revolutionary for naval warfare when first proposed. Prior to nuclear power, submarines were powered by diesel engines and could only submerge through the use of batteries. In order for these submarines to run their diesel engines and charge their batteries they would have to surface or snorkel. The use of nuclear power allowed these submarines to become true submersibles and unlike their conventional counterparts, they became limited only by crew endurance and supplies. ==Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers== The United States Navy has by far the most nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, with ten in service as of 1 December 2012, when the USS ''Enterprise'' (CVN-65) was deactivated. France's latest aircraft carrier, the ''R91 Charles de Gaulle'', is nuclear-powered. The United Kingdom rejected nuclear power early in the development of its ''Queen Elizabeth''-class aircraft carriers on cost grounds, as even several decades of fuel use costs less than a nuclear reactor.〔Morrocco, John. "U.K. Launches Future Aircraft Carrier Studies" Aviation. ''Week and Space Technology.'' The McGraw-Hill Companies, 1 February 1999. Retrieved on 28 July 2007.〕 Since 1949 the Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has been one of the lead laboratories in the development of the nuclear navy. The planned Indian INS Vishal and the Indigenous Chinese Carriers also feature Nuclear Propulsion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wantchinatimes.com/news-subclass-cnt.aspx?id=20141217000096&cid=1101 )〕
