The NS Savannah wasn't even a cargo ship, technically - it was classified as a merchant ship, and was basically a cargo/cruise ship combination.
One big propaganda barge, basically.
Still, the engineering they put into the thing was hella cool. But it basically failed commercially - weirdly enough, some nations have issues with nuclear power plants rocking into their port cities. Wonder why...

Because they’re morons who bought anti nuclear propaganda much like you 😂. Especially considering that all those same ports have had far larger nuclear reactors rocking in port in the form of aircraft carriers
Civilian operated nuclear powered ships are far more likely to be targets of opportunity than ones protected by feet of steel and thousands of military personnel
You gotta think about it in current terms and think not from your own biases but the mindset of the enemies. If you were johnny jihad today and a nuclear powered cargo ship was in new york, would you consider that a hard or soft target?
If you understand these things you will undersrand why volatile poisonous reactors are not a good thing to leave in the hands of chucklefuck corpos who pay bare minimum for security.
See what I liked from that era while I'm sure a lot was not viable or propaganda, it was still effort to do cool things. Nuclear cargo ship, turbine car, going to the moon. Now they'd rather launder money for effort into corruption pockets while screaming about race.
Hell, there was an idea being floated around for a multi-national nuclear-powered airship moving around as a type of floating 'world convention' or some such.
...look, yeah, I know that airships had issues and whatnot, but goddammit, I would have loved to fly on the Graf Zepplin or Hindenburg just once.
Ooo yeah I forgot about those. One big disaster and they disappear forever. I hate how everything has devolved to herding as many sardine people into a metal tube to be miserable for however long. It seems I'm the minority though, as pretty much every study shows most people will be treated like dogshit for however long to save a buck.

No not really, nuclear aircraft carriers get fucked with constantly and the nuclear powered civilian ships never had such issues.

Hold the fuck up - yeah, no, you gotta be looking for someone else if you think I'm anti-nuclear.
You're not wrong about the propaganda, though.

Airships.

they took it from us because it was too effective.
