Tomahawk missiles are the Navyis most sophis- ticated ship-launched cruise missiles. There are anti-ship and land-attack versions with ranges up to 250 and 700 miles respectively. NEW JERSEY can carry 32 of them on deck: four times as many as oth- er surface ships.

The NIXIE system is the battleshipls only de fense, other than from other ships in the battle group, against submarines. It is towed behind the ship, trans- m1tt1ng sonar patterns that attract sound-seeking tor- pedoes. Harpoon anti-ship missiles are quite capable of fighting a naval battle in their own right, though not as sophisticated as the Tomahawks. Their range is up to 60 nautical miles and the battleship carries 16 of them.
