As I understand it, naval reactors are cooled by seawater. Couldn't the coolant be diverted, causing the reactor to overheat and eventually meltdown? How dangerous a naval reactor meltdown would be I have no idea.

Definitely not good, but wayyy less dangerous for humans and the environment than a huge oil spill

Even if it wasn’t and sank uncontained to the bottom of the ocean, water makes a good radiation shield.
