WASHINGTON: A "bunker buster" bomb with more than 10 times the explosive power of its predecessor is to be put into service by the United States next December, six months later than previously scheduled, the Defense Department said. The deployment's timing may help shape new calculations in long standoffs with Iran and North Korea over their nuclear programs, much of which are believed to be underground to avoid detection and enhance their chances of surviving an attack.

afaik the navy doesn’t use drones, they were launched from DDGs

Or Submarines. But they are in effect drones. Besides which the Navy does use UAVs. Launched from DDGs, CGs, even the Iowa class BBs when they were still in commission. Some are helicopter type drones. Here's one first deployed in 1963.

Here is a Pioneer drone being recovered aboard the Iowa.

Does the USN deploy modern UAVs, capable of firing cruise missles?

Good point on the submarines.

Why the capitulation? STOP DELAYING THE BOMBS! This strike is America’s job, and they better keep their position as the world’s defenders of freedom. This is a war of freedom vs. repression of speech and free will. This isn’t just Israel’s problem, just like Hitler wasn’t just the Jews problems... If you give these despots something to gain momentum with, the world will pay in the end. Please America don’t let Ahmedenijad enact his twisted wet fantasies and get the nuke and try to destroy Israel to be compared to his hero the Fuhrer...
