US deploying anti-ship missiles in 2024 to deter China

The United States Navy is planning to deploy anti-ship Tomahawk missiles on submarines next year as part of the Pentagon’s strategy to deter China from invading Taiwan and challenge China’s naval forces. According to a recent statement obtained by Bloomberg News, Captain Jon Hersey, who is the program manager responsible for the “Maritime Strike” version of the Tomahawk missile, indicated that the RTX Corporation missile, which is usually used as a ground-attack weapon, will be deployed on submarines sometime after Oct. 1, 2024. The “Maritime Strike” Tomahawk missiles will be equipped with a new guidance system, which Hersey said will allow the missiles “to engage a mobile target at sea.” Hersey explained that the Navy received the first version of the missiles for testing last year. The deployment of the “Maritime Strike” version of the Tomahawk would provide the U.S. Navy with another resource to help counter China’s rapidly growing fleet. The Pentagon’s most recent assessment of China’s military noted that China’s Navy consists of 370 ships and submarines, while the U.S. Navy has only 291 deployable ships and submarines. According to Bloomberg News, the current schedule for the deployment of the “Maritime Strike” missiles is consistent with a similar timeline the Pentagon has for its 2025 deployment of thousands of drones to the Indo-Pacific region under the Replicator initiative.
