Thanks for this post. Really informative. Random question: Would you happen to know if the Navy is still interested in slowpoke 3 or 4 micro reactors or the amps 1000 reactor? Maybe it came up in conversation with some people you know. Could keep a Victoria around and use it as a testing platform just like the Oberon.
Hello! If there was any discussion on reviving the AMPS concept I am not privy to it. Nuclear was fairly quickly ruled out from thr CPSP discussion, as the advantages it provides aren't really something that is needed for us, combined with the expense, timelines and such.
The plan for the Vickys is to keep with the current modernization plans, and retire them for 2035.
