Apparently the new chairman of the US House Seapower subcommittee wants to begin building nuclear powered surface combatants again. Other than carriers the US hasn't had any nuke surface ships since the last CGNs were retired in the late 90's. I think this is an idea worth consideration, as nuclear powered vessels offer clear tactical and logistical advantages over conventional ships.
