Tomahawks confirmed - only for the Hobarts at this stage, maybe not the Collins.
At least now we have something to put in the VLS tubes when the Virginias roll in...
Australia will become one of only three nations to possess a Tomahawk long-range strike capability when it purchases more than 200 of the cruise missiles from the United States for the Royal Australian Navy’s Hobart-class destroyers.
As we previously reported, Australia was looking at outfitting its in-service Collins-class submarines with Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles as part of their forthcoming Life of Type Extension (LOTE). However the fate of this plan is uncertain now, following the announcement that the Royal Australian Navy is set to field Virginia-class submarines from the early 2030ies.
