Yes Brian Mulrooney looked at the LA Class 688i submarine, but under the conditions of our non nuclear proliferation position, we couldn't buy them.

Anyone care to expand on this? Have we signed a "No Nuke" treaty that I'm not aware of? Or was it just government policy at the time?

Its more of a positional stance after we got rid of our starfighter mounted nuclear tipped air to air missiles, we basically stated to the world that we were a nuke free country on the military side, and that includes submarines.
There is still that persistant rumor that we have a stockpile of the damn things up at CFB alert with our alien bodies
