	Does anyone know about the oft mentioned Tomahawk's guidance
system? I have heard that inertial guidance systems are not used, as
they are not accurate enough over very long ranges. If the guidance is
not inertial, what is it? Also, what kind of target recognition, if any,
is employed by the missile while in flight. Any information would be
appreciated.
