I believe you're thinking of the Aegis cruisers which do have NT
systems on board, but those systems have nothing to do with fire
control.  Sometimes these cruisers are referred to as the
"Ticonderoga" class.

The Aegis cruisers aren't nuclear powered; they're gas turbine
powered.  They do have the capability to carry nuclear tomahawk cruise
missiles.

This is way off topic :)
