Talk:Tomahawk cruise missile (view source)

[[Stephen Bryen]]: "Tomahawks originally were dual capable in that they could have nuclear or conventional warheads. Partly as a result of the now-defunct [[Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty|Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) agreement]], and also because a cruise missile over Soviet territory would be interpreted as a nuclear strike, the US shelved the nuclear warheads for Tomahawk. There is still confusion about what happened to these warheads: are they still in long term storage or have they been dismantled?"

Likely not dismantled. See [[Megatons to Megawatts]].
