Eh, it makes sense as a deterrent. And he didn’t specify where they are. But I don’t think he knows “nuclear submarines” are not nuclear armed submarines. They are just nuclear-powered, meaning they don’t consume oxygen to run (no fuel burned) and don’t need to resurface for a long time.
“Nuclear-powered submarine” is basically redundant these days for the US, since they all are and have been since 2007. It can be safely assumed that a reference to a “Nuclear Submarine” in this context is one that is nuclear-armed.
