This could be considered a trick question. Nuclear power or nuclear weapons?

1. The first and only time that nuclear weapons (atomic bombs) were used was during WWII (Hiroshima and Nagasaki).

2. The nuclear powered British submarine, HMS Conqueror sunk the Argentinian cruiser General Bel Grano (ex-WWII USN light cruiser USS Phoenix) during the 1982 Falklands war.

3. Nuclear powered USN aircraft carriers/subs/surface warships fought in the Vietnam War.

Note, that nuclear warships "can" be considered nuclear weapons, depending upon how the conversation/debate is handled.
