They find all the surface-to-air missile sites.
Once they're gone, you have...
the strike groups come in and they can start hitting targets.
Now, in addition to this aircraft carrier, this aircraft carrier has multiple escorts.
I believe we have 20 vessels in the area right now.
And of these 20 vessels, a good portion of them are U.S.
Navy Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.
Now, these can carry up to 72 Tomahawk missiles, although...
each VLS tube, which is essentially, think of it like a small shipping container that pops into the destroyer vertically.
This thing can open up, it'll fire a missile out of the container and to reload, you just pop in a new container.
There's a little more to it than popping it in, but it's a very easy way
to load and store these missiles in a very fast way of firing them.
Now it's more likely that these Arleigh Burke-class destroyers have perhaps 20 Tomahawks on them and a mix of self-defense missiles like the SM-2, SM-6.
However, these Tomahawks provide a very, very powerful cruise missile punch if that needs to be used.
In addition to those screening destroyers that surround the carrier to make sure nothing gets to it, we also most likely have in the area
an attack submarine that is protecting the carrier strike group from below, and perhaps an Ohio-class cruise missile submarine.
These were former ballistic missile submarines that had their ballistic missile tubes taken out and cruise missile tubes put in.
I believe it's instead of one launcher per, instead of one missile per tube, they have four.
in each of these Ohio-class cruise missile submarines.
And these will be able to launch, I believe it's 196, I might be getting the math on that wrong, cruise missiles into Iran.
