5. Its great for ships.
It is expensive and significantly adds to the cost of the ship, but you are no longer forced to have to port (foreign) to refuel. Its ideal for large ships that would be difficult to fuel conventionally, or for submarines, since access to surface air to combust fossil fuels is cut off when submerged. Diesel Subs also have far smaller ranges.

3. There have been approximately 900 bomb blasts in the continental U.S. since I was born.
In 1962. Only 190 previous.

Oh, joy.
