Excellent use case! No need for as much weight efficiency as with other transport applications, nor as space efficient. Plus, you'd be literally swimming in the needed coolant. Wake heat would be less of an issue than a stationary power plant's waste heat to local waters because of ever changing location and vast volume.
I hope our battery tech makes massive gains. We have plenty of energy available, we need to be able to store it better.
