It seems technically possible, this book (below) on the UH60a suggests that sea based nuclear armaments were supposed to be part of this helicopter in an antisubmarine role but didn't go ahead. The thing is though I guess the armament would have to be at depth and low yield as helicopters can be brought down quite easily by turbulence and are quite slow, with a much higher attrition rate, therefore over land jets like the B2 with stealth capability would probably be more useful and less likely to be shot down before delivery.

What is the cost of all the weapons used in the B-2 stealth aircraft?
Really not possible to say- the aircraft has a large payload, and can carry a VERY varied mix of weapons. When you add in cruise missles, guided munitions, and possibly nuclear weapons, the cost of the payload could be incredibly high, but I don't think the govt releases the price tag on a nuclear weapon.
What is is payload and towing capacity the same thing?

For a story what US Navy ships would carry nuclear missiles?
Mainly aircraft carriers, submarines and some frigates. Personally, I think that all classes of warships can carry nuclear weapon launchers in terms of placement. If a frigate can carry a nuclear missile launcher, a destroyer can do it as well. Of course, when a different class of warship is chosen to carry nuclear weapons, military enginners will study the best location to install the machine. In other words, there isn't a warship specially designed to carry such weapon launcher. Aircraft carriers and submarines are systematically equipped with those nuclear missile launchers due to their characteristics, specially super aircraft carriers.
How many men can a black hawk helicopter carry?
