This depends on both the role (e.g. missile, attack, research) and class of the submarine. The only thing that defines a submarine as nuclear is that it derives its power from nuclear reactors, it does not need to carry nuclear weapons (although almost all do).

  • Role defines the purpose the submarine was designed to fulfill
  • Class is the specific "model" of the submarine
