A view of a BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missile in flight over the Aleutian Chain as seen from a U.S. Navy chase plane. The missile was launched from a surface ship during a fleet exercise in the Northern Pacific and is en route to a target on Kanaga Island. The missile's flight path from launch point to target is more than 500 miles. This is the first launch of a Tomahawk from anywhere other than within an established missile range and the first time it has been fired from a ship on a regular deployment
