They probably already have them. There’s no advantage to announcing that. Similar to Israel.

Regardless there’s very probably multiple USA nuclear subs surrounding the place.

The reason Israel is heavily encouraged to maintain nuclear strategic ambiguity is an attempt to dissuade the entire Middle East from developing nuclear weapons in response.
