We study the effect of naval nuclear reactors on the study of neutrinooscillations. We find that the presence of naval reactors at unknown locationsand times may limit the accuracy of future very long baseline reactor-basedneutrino oscillation experiments. At the same time we argue that a nuclearpowered surface ship such as a large Russian ice-breaker may provide an idealsource for precision experiments. While the relatively low reactor power wouldin this case require a larger detector, the source could be convenientlylocated at essentially any distance from a detector built at an undergroundlocation near a shore in a region of the world far away from other nuclearinstallations. The variable baseline would allow for a precise measurement ofbackgrounds and greatly reduced systematics from reactor flux and detectorefficiency. In addition, once the oscillation measurement is completed, thedetector could perform geological neutrino and astrophysical measurements withminimal reactor background.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
