Video says the missile was guided by the F-18.

Doubt it. F-18’s a chase plane, to watch missile, and shoot it down if it goes rogue.

This Tomahawk variant would be worthless if it needed an F-18 to guide it to a ship target. F-18 would get shot down.

PS. They called it Unclassified. I wouldn’t have. But they are hard up for successful bragging events. There is still valuable information in these video clips.

You may be right that the video caption was wrong. Not like the Tomahawk needs help, but with the Harpoon, what was the point?

Very similar airframes, far different missions, unless this was a demonstration of what you can do when you run out of Harpoons?

Just be careful which warheads you are sending over to those ships, could get dicey with the crowd-pleasers.
