During the Ship / Submarine Recycling Program (SSRP), reactors are removed, sealed at both ends, and eventually shipped to the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington for burial in secure trenches.
Plutonium can be used in nuclear reactors for nuclear propulsion of ships and submarines.
Reactors power submarines and many surface ships. Nuclear weapons.
Submarines are powered by diesel fuel (in the past) or more recently by nuclear reactors. Nuclear reactors provide advantages in range and in noise produced.

In naval vessels, especially submarines and aircraft carriers
Nuclear power plants, submarines and aircraft carriers propelled by nuclear reactors. In the future, may be all sort of vehicles could have small and very protected nuclear reactors instead of today's fuel.
Nuclear reactors do not typically use periscopes. Periscopes are usually used in submarines to see above water while remaining submerged. Nuclear reactors utilize control rooms with monitoring equipment and cameras to observe and control the reactor's operations.
Nuclear power plants are very large fixed installations on land. There are many reactors however in the US navy ships and submarines
Nuclear reactors use nuclear fission.
Nuclear fission is now commercially available in nuclear fission reactors since the fifties of last century. Nuclear Fusion is still under R&D. Nuclear fission reactors are clean energy source.
USA has the most nuclear submarines
Nuclear reactors use controlled nuclear fission reactions to generate heat, which is then used to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. The heat is produced in the reactor core where nuclear fuel rods containing uranium or plutonium undergo fission reactions. The reactor's cooling system helps regulate the temperature and prevent overheating.
