Everyone in this thread should probably also note that (A) there are no more nuclear warheads for Tomahawks and (B) the TASM has been out of service for a while. Besides, I don't really know how useful a subsonic, non-stealthy missile would be against a modern surface combatant.

The only dedicated ASM in the USN is the Harpoon. We were going to get an Oniks equivalent in the form of the LRASM-B, but it got canceled when DARPA realized that you can't pull a 30-year old experimental ramjet off the shelf and turn it into an operational system for cheap. :cry:

LRASM in its sub sonc version is now in testing (read Tom. block4 variant with radar seaker and datalink, what I call TASM).
