Could have imagined this happening as little as 3 years ago.
An ally sending a nuclear deterrent into our waters as a message/warning to the US. This normally happens to countries like Iran or North Korea

Hey. Guess what? At the moment, we're the bad guys...
At the moment? When was there ever a time the US weren't the bad guys?
Briefly the us was the good guys when we killed a bunch of slavers and then when we killed a bunch of fascists. Those were exceptions to the rule though.
Looks at founding fathers... Yeah killed the slavers. Puts blanket over Native Indians. Hides Chinese rail workers under rug. Renames Irish "Indentured workers"
They also killed the Nazis, except for the ones that were useful, of course.

Still hasnβt happened. This was a sales pitch for a Canadian defence contract.
To be accurate, this is a nuclear propelled attack submarine. It does not carry nuclear warheads and is not what we normally call a "nuclear deterrent".

The scale of these things is always fascinating. They're always much larger than I think they are.
For reference, I think that's a Suffren class, making it just shy of 100m, or a tad longer than a football field for my fellow Americans.

Important note: The "Nuclear" in "Nuclear attack submarine" means that it is powered by a nuclear reactor. It does not refer to its armament. An "attack" submarine means it is designed to attack ships and other submarines and these are typically not capable of carrying and launching ICBMs. Nuclear-armed deterrent submarines are called Ballistic Missile Submarines.
