When you compare that to the millions and millions of gallons of diesel for instance, that the other aircraft carriers take, they have to take on thousands and thousands of gallons to get to Hawaii and then they go from there onto Japan, why compared to what they have to carry this the fuel to get there, but with a nuclear reactor--and these submarines, that's another good example.
