Great question. Here is what I found out:
Nuclear submarines have crew sizes that vary depending on the type and class of the submarine, but typically range from about 130 to 160 personnel. For example, a modern fast attack submarine might have a crew of 134, with about 120 enlisted and 14 officers. Ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) may have an additional 16 enlisted and an additional officer.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Vanguard Class (UK): 132 officers and men.
Fast Attack Submarines (US): Around 134, with 120 enlisted and 14 officers.
SSBNs (US): Add 16 enlisted and an additional officer to fast attack submarine crew size.
Seawolf Class (US): 140 total (14 officers, 126 enlisted).
Typhoon Class (Russia): 160.
German Type 212: 5 officers and 22 men.
