Even the US Navy is backing away from nuclear power. They only build nuclear powered aircraft carriers and submarines. They used to build nuclear powered cruisers.

It is more expensive to build, to maintain, to break down at the end, and to train the many crews that will serve over the ship's lifetime.

Only when you absolutely need a nuclear reactor does it make sense to absorb that expense.
