But that wasn't what I was asking. I was wondering why they don't carry them aboard carriers, surface ships, and attack submarines (not ballistic missile subs).

Although the risk of one exploding is minimal, there is still a chance of it, although very low. A suicide bombing might set one off. To have a nuclear explosion at sea, or close to a country will severely damage the US's reputation.
