With its family of BGM-109s the US Navy possesses a highly flexible weapon system whose wide operational capabilities have opened up totally new offensive capabilities. Some specialists maintain that the deployment of the Tomahawk is an additional deterrent effect to utilization of nuclear weapons. They point out in particular that the putting into service of the BGM-109 onboard US Navy surface ships and submarines gives the US Navy the means of reacting with measured response to any given threat worldwide and at any time. 

Three subs off the coast, each armed with 154 potentially nuclear tomahawks is an imposing force.
