Nuclear subs and air carriers are part of deterrence strategy. So, most reports will be classified, unlike for nuclear plants. Never the less, we know about numerous accidents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sunken_nuclear_submari...

Also, let’s not forget about Hanford site, which was part of the US nuclear program

not one of those incidents were due to reactor failure. running a reactor is complicated. operating a submarine at depths is also complicated. combining them doesn't mean either one gets less complicated. a failure of some complicated part of the submarine does not mean the power source failed. assuming they do with flippant "but subs have sunk" comments is just disingenuous at best.

okay. yes, you win the internet of pedants. i guess its my fault for not saying US nuclear navy

I'm not really concerned with the events of the Soviet/Russian navy, as they are not the ones regulating anything that concerns me.
