 To answer your second question first. The answer is, Yes, Tomahawks can
 be loaded into ABLs"Armored Box Launchers" while the ship is underway.
 That is of course, weather permitting.

 Now for your first question, with perfect conditions i.e.(pierside,
 avaliable crane services) 1 bird takes about 45 minutes.
