Cute idea, but nuclear submarines aren't that powerful. Output for ballistic submarine reactors are in the 150-250MW range.

For reference, natural gas power plants can hit the GW range easily. Even those diesel backup generators you see outside of hospitals and such are about 1kW. You could throw a bunch of those on a tanker ship and probably provide more power output than a nuclear sub reactor.

This is misleading. Gas turbines used for power plants usually put out 100-250mw. Most gas plants just stack 3-5 of them together in a common location - same thing could be done for small reactors.
