The Tomahawk is designed for limited surgical operations the Cruise can go Ballistic and can carry 3-4 time the payload of the Tomahawk and can go nuke .

As a parallel item of interest, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popeye_(missile)"Popeye Turbo Submarine Launched Cruise Missile Main articles: submarine-launched cruise missile, Nuclear triad, and Second strike Popeye Turbo SLCM—A reportedly stretched version of the Popeye Turbo developed for use as a submarine-launched cruise missile (SLCM) was widely reported in a US Navy observed 2002 test in the Indian Ocean to have hit a target at 1500 km. It can allegedly carry a 200 kt nuclear warhead. It is believed that the stretched Popeye Turbo is the primary strategic second strike nuclear deterrent weapon that can be fired from the 650 mm secondary torpedo tubes of the Israeli Dolphin-class submarines.[1] It is believed that the SLCM version of the Popeye was developed by Israel after the US Clinton administration refused an Israeli request in 2000 to purchase Tomahawk long range SLCM's because of international MTCR proliferation rules.[7] While the standard Popeye is 533 mm the Dolphin class submarines have four 650 mm torpedo tubes in addition to the six standard 533 mm tubes allowing for the possibility that a SLCM Popeye derivative may be a larger diameter.[8]" The above is the REAL reason for the 6x conventional subs, 5 of which are operational, in the Israeli Navy. These WILL be used if our peace loving muslim brothers ever put a nuke on Tel Aviv, and the end result will be a rump of scattered tribes. SJ |
