US Navy to Field ‘Game-Changer’ Anti-Ship Tomahawk by September

The US Navy will start fielding an anti-ship version of its Tomahawk cruise missile on destroyers by late September in what the service’s readiness boss sees as a “game-changer” against a numerically superior Chinese fleet.

Fleet Forces Command Admiral Daryl Caudle said an anti-ship version of the US’s best known non-nuclear missile, which is currently used for land attack, will greatly increase the service’s lethality.
