For 2 containments there may be 2 turbine generators if the need arises. Literally 2 nuclear power plants R sufficient and are more economical. As more capacity NPP are available and R efficient. For non aircraft carrier ships one containment with 2 nuclear power plants are enough. Even one main NPP, one auxiliary NPP and one water deselination cum steam generator is more then enough.

Each containment box can hold two reactor unit.
Still the size of the boxes are about the same on the Ford, so even with four reactors I doubt you'll get more power because now each one of your reactor is going to be tiny. Unless they put submarine reactors on this, there is no reason to not simply just build two reasonably sized ones.
