Virginia SSN on Discovery Channel

Did anybody else watch this? Did you see the part at the end when they were running an exercise against an "enemy" ship? Well, I found it interesting that they dispatched a Tomahawk missile against it in the exercise. Anybody else catch that? I'm not asking anyone to confirm anything. But I found this quite interesting considering there is no TASM's anymore and there was speculation recently that the current form of UGM-109 is rumoured to be anti-ship capable. If so, removing the Harpoon from US Navy subs may not be too bad of a drawback. And Oscar Austins may have more of a longer anti-ship reach than we might think.
