My brother-in-law served on the USS Barbel (SS-580), one of the last two diesel-electric subs in the US Navy. Both diesel boats have been decommisioned since he got out over 20 years ago. And realistically, the nukes aren't very different, they just use a nuclear generator instead of a diesel powered one.
We could do the same on our projects, but I think that we're hitting the scale issue again... ;)
