Submarine-launched Tomahawk IV flight test a success
The U.S. Navy conducted a successful first test of a submarine torpedo tube-launched Tomahawk Block IV cruise missile on its missile range off the coast of southern California Mar. 26.

Launched from the Los Angeles-Class attack submarine, USS Pasadena (SSN-752), the missile transitioned to cruise flight and flew a satellite-guided 635-nautical mile test flight to the NAVAIR Land Range at the NAVAIR Weapons Division, China Lake, California.
