This is a good twist for a change and it goes to show that we have been keeping up with possible future military requirements. The military must by neccessity morph and change to adjust to the times if it is to be effective as a military.
The US Navy has apparently did this a while back and this is the first that I am hearing of it, but the navy has refitted at least four of its Ohio class nuclear capable submarines with Tomahawk cruise missiles. Now grasshopper you may ask me why is this so significant, and what does it mean? Well my most honorouble military ring customer it means this; In the past these subs were fitted only with Trident nuclear missiles. This was good but the subs were nuclear capable only. Now that they are fitted with Tomahawks they are more versatile and can be used in many more conventional applications. This makes them a whole different kind of threat.
Each cruise missile has a one thousand mile range which means that they can be transported close enough to strike just about anywhere in the world.
Those of you who follow this blog know that I have screaming for quite a while that we need to keep our eyes on the Chinese military. Well this shows that evidently our Navy ring customers have been doing just that.
