Subject: Very Interesting Fact I just heard Jennifer Griffin, Fox News, while reporting on the retaliatory strikes the U.S. has launched mentioned that USS Florida was in the region and she carries 150 Tomahawk missiles. I was skeptical for I looked it up. ComSubLant's web page says the number is actually 154. Remebering the Tomahawk, 21 in dia by 20 feet long, where do they put them. I mean even the 569 had a pretty good arsenal but 154. These ain't OBA canisters. I'm amazed.
