I think the primary argument is that nukes can deploy longer.
I don’t believe there is evidence diesels are significantly quieter/stealthier than nukes. Eventually, diesel boats have to snorkel to charge... most vulnerable then.
It would be interesting to see a diesel go toe-to-toe with a nuke attack boat.
My moneys on the nuke

The "USS Stingray" of the movie was actually the USS Pampanito. Kelsey Grammer stars as the Stingray's captain, Lt. Commander Thomas Dodge, and the film is set in Charleston and Norfolk harbors on the US east coast. The action scenes use a combination of a special effects shooting miniature for the composited underwater scenes, older Pampanito color stock footage of her under power on the surface, then submerging, and newly shot footage of Pampanito moving under tow in San Francisco Bay while venturing past the Golden Gate Bridge. It had been fifty years since she sailed under the bridge.

USS Pampanito (SS-383) - Wikipedia
USS Pampanito (SS-383/AGSS-383), a Balao-class submarine, was a United States Navy ship, the third one named for the pompano fish. She completed six war patrols from 1944 to 1945 and served as a Naval Reserve Training ship from 1960 to 1971. She is now a National Historic Landmark, preserved as a memorial and museum ship in the San Francisco Maritime National Park Association located at Fisherman's Wharf.

1LT Sandy Annala Saw the movie, always thought of it more as a spoof than anything close to realistic.

Or we could buy off the shelf from several countries that specialize in diesel subs: Germany, Japan, Sweden for example. If we go back to building subs and let the Navy do what it does best, turn a million dollar project into a billion dollars of cost overruns, and stagnate a project by 5-10 years they will never get built. Go off the shelf and you will have them in less than half the time.

Just like Carlson-Wagonlit charges up to 3 times the price of a ticket from Priceline or other competitors but the orders say failure to use them exclusively means zero chance of reimbursement!! That DTS/Carlson-Wagonlit is a Bill Clinton Legacy.

Nukes are better than diesels... quieter, more on station time, better equipment, better training.

I will not go so far as a down vote because of the more on station time - I agree with that.

CMDCM Gene Treants - I guess I could have put that better, I meant at on station at depth....
