The subs and carriers have nuclear power plants aboard to generate electricity. While that power is used for propulsion, it's not the same thing as a nuclear engine. A nuclear rocket engine operates on the same principles but rather than using the heated water to turn a turbine, the water is directed through a nozzle to create thrust.
