I don't know about the current positon on USN nucs for example (it persisted I believe until the late 90s if not later). I suspect the scarlet letter (for Anti-nuc) earned by the position has probably persisted in memory to some extent, but I also think there is a sense that NZ was our (humanity's) collective conscience and could therefore be foregiven a position viewed as impractical but necessary by the major Nuc. powers. A cry in the wilderness for sanity and survival of the human race.
