	Like the header says... Folks, take it from someone who has worked
on the Tomahawk cruise missile. There IS NO AIR-LAUNCHED VARIANT!!! Really.
Thus, the A-6E (which can launch smart bombs) cannot launch it. Moving on
to another minor thing, re the S-3, just because it can carry Harpoon (which
just needs externally supplied targeting data, doesn't imply that it can launch
SLAM, which requires the Walleye data-link on the launch aircraft for terminal
guidance prior to IR seeker lock-on.
