All of the Navy''s aircraft carriers are powered by nuclear reactors; its other surface combatants are powered by engines that use conventional petroleum-based fuels. The Navy could save money on fuel in the future by purchasing additional nuclear-powered ships rather than conventionally powered ships. Those savings in fuel costs, however, would be offset by the additional up-front costs required for the procurement of nuclear-powered ships. This book examines the cost-effectiveness of nuclear power for navy surface ships and the issues and options for Congress.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886856778071,"sku":"9781614707905","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/navy-nuclear-powered-surface-ships-9781614707905","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
