Yes, sen edellisen version kaytto oli vahan hazardi-pelia:
Washington (UPI) Aug 31, 2017
The U.S. Defense Department has awarded Raytheon with a $119 million order for engineering services on the U.S. Navy's Tactical Tomahawk Block IV All-Up Round cruise missile.
The order will provide for analysis and prototyping for the
Tactical Tomahawk's seeker head, as part of the Maritime Strike Tomahawk Program.
The Tactical Tomahawk Block IV is an upgraded version of the Tomahawk long-range cruise missile. The Navy wants Raytheon modify the Tomahawk's targeting system so it can strike moving naval targets.
The Tomahawk Anti-Ship Missile version of the platform was withdrawn from service in the 1990s, but concerns over a lack of long-range anti-ship capability has led the Navy to reconsider the Tomahawk as an anti-ship weapon.

"A portion of these armored box launchers from the
Iowas and the other classes of ships are likely still available and could presumably be reused. Outfitting US Navy logistical ships with four armored box launches, or half that of the
Iowa Class's missile punch, would give them as much standoff attack capability as a $2B fast attack nuclear submarine. Even outfitting every Navy logistical ship with a single armored box launcher would give that ship four targets that it could strike within a 1,000 mile radius surrounding the ship's location at any given time. Launch control and planning could be done remotely. This would go a long way to satisfying the DoD's time sensitive global strike initiative, without having to build extremely expensive hypersonic missiles or other exotic capabilities."
Ja jos valtamerta jaa viela joku osa kattamatta,
B-1 pommittajien elakepaivilla (B-21 Raidereiden saavuttua) niiden on ajateltu partioivan Tyynen meren aavoja ulapoita, punatahtisia aluksia etsien. Tosin ei Tomahawk-lastissa, vaan LRASM aseistuksella.
