If they do last 35 years would they eve have to be removed? 

 I do see your point about the problem with size and weight
distribution. Any design would have to factor this in right from the
start.

Hmmm.  Maybe.  At 14" x 14" x 58" it would be difficult to use the 
available space effectively, as is the case with most of the available 
larger industrial batteries.  Whatever I use must be easily manoeuvred 
through an access hatch, moved to its installation location, and 
installed in a configuration that makes effective use of the available 
space.  I was thinking more along the lines of banks of ordinary sized 
Optima (or similar) batteries, which would allow more freedom with 
weight distribution, and also installation and removal without needing a

crane.  Those nuke sub cells would need to be wheeled under the 
machinery space access hatch and lifted out with some sort of cradle, 
unless they were permanenly installed (requiring a drydock for 
installation / removal), as is the case with the engine.  I'd like to 
avoid that if at all possible.
