Japan fires first Tomahawk missile from warship

Japan marked a major military milestone Wednesday as its Maritime Self-Defense Force test-launched the advanced U.S.-made Tomahawk cruise missile from a warship for the first time. It will soon have 400 Tomahawks, which can accurately strike and destroy heavily defended targets up to 1,000 miles away, and it is believed to now have eight vessels capable of launching them. Japan continues its “march toward militarization.”
