The Navy then also developed natural circulation reactors. US attack submarines (except the natural circulation prototype USS Narwhal) are built with pressurized water reactors, while Ohio-class strategic submarines are powered by natural circulation reactors. The latter are inherently quieter than pressurized water units, since they do not require pumps, at least at low and medium power. Other nuclear navies used pressurized water or natural circulation reactors, with one exception: the Soviet Union's Alpha-class superfast attack submarines, built with...
