In recent years, the Congress has shown interest in powering some of the Navy s future destroyers and amphibious warfare ships with nuclear rather than conventional (petroleum-based) fuel. At the request of the former Chairman of the Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces of the House Committee on Armed Services, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated the difference in life-cycle costs (the total costs incurred for a ship, from acquisition through operations to disposal) between powering those new surface ships with nuclear reactors and equipping them with conventional engines.
