SLScool, Nuclear is by virtue of the fact it has a generator that needs constant cooling, noiser than a pure electric drive vehicle. That first answer is actually wrong, most diesel-electric subs are quieter than nuclear because when they are submerged, they are running on electric power only. The diesel gens are not running unless they are surfaced to recharge. Diesel engines need air in order to recharge the batteries.

Read the other two answers that were given.
