The CW devs acknowledged that the TLAM strike missions are kinda unrealistic, but that was done to make them more of a challenge then just driving out to a launch basket in the Barents Sea and lobbing Tomahawks at Russia.
Keep in mind that in 1984 you couldn't just upload a set of GPS coordinates to a TLAM and shoot it. They had to be programmed with the target position and digital maps of the target area, a process that took some time.
