a nuclear trained enlisted crew member of a submarine. Nukes are generally very intelligent with quick wit. They are extremely resourceful, playful, and notoriously lazy. They can usually be found thinking of ways to make fun of a coner or embarass an officer. Nukes receive extra pay (referred to as 'pro-pay') and bonuses for their training and this is a source of bad blood between them and coners.
Coner to Coner: "Man, I played Everquest for 6 hours last night while I was on duty. I'm just so tired now."
Nuke: "Shut the fuck up stupid coners, try working for a change on your duty day."
Coner to Nuke: "Quit cryin' nuke, that's why you get pro-pay!"
