Cavitation

whatever happened to the plans of building ionized water propulsion for subs?

I thought they talked about using the reactor to produce electricity to created a magnetic pulse chamber through the hull of the sub(like the huge cigar shaped inlet/outlet of early jets, MiG 15, F86 Saber, etc) and they could squirt water out the back like a squid. I thought they felt it could allow for high speeds with no cavitation, and no concerns about approaching or exceeding the speed of sound under water on any surfaces...no cavitation.
