Is this what the subs carry? I sure hope he’s not disarming our second strike deterrent.

I don't think subs carry nuclear-armed Tomahawks, at least not anymore. Their Tomahawks are all conventional. Most Ohio class subs carry Tridents.

No. You have the Trident missile system for a second strike.

This is not what our Ballistic missile submarines carry. We will still have nuclear missile at sea that can still fly half way around the world. Submarines have no carried nuclear tomahawks for a very very long time, this is a cold war weapon. It is the same for nuclear torpedos, we had them, we haven’t carried these in a long time. If we ever need these, I am dead sure we can get them. But for the time being coventional Tomahawks are what we will need for Iran and our other threats.
