Aussie Tomahawks

Whats all the bullsh#t every time sombody suggests Aussie Warships get fitted with Tomahawk cruise missles.
(1) Price – yeah they are expensive intially but I wouldn’t think they have a huge support and maitnence cost, no way is it any thing like the F-111 we justify countinued outlay on ( not that I don’t like the pig, its a great a/c when its not unserviceable)
the only part thats real expensive is the missle I would guess which your not firing every day
(2) What is the differance between a UCAV and the tomahawk for strike missions. please tell me! I would suggest in MOST cases the UCAV would be a surplus platform to the equation ( not to mention just as expensive as the tomohawk if not more )
Why have somthing carry the munition to the target when it can carry itself!
(3) would provide the force projection to back up our regional activities which we are increasingiy taking on by ourselves.We no longer have a carry so this would be the next best thing to indicate our resolve in a given situation.
(4) When the JSF comes into service it will replace both the hornet and F-111. The RAAF will just have 1 multi role fighter.Im not sure about the JSF compared to the hornet in the AD role but in the strike role it is not as well ranged nor i think can it carry as much ordanance as the F-111. Range I think is most important in the vast distances to our north and the Pacific.
Also tomohawk could supplement the JSF in providing first strike on long range targets to create conditions that add to the JSFs stealth qualities
(5) fitting tomohawks to our collins subs would increase our precision strike capability and greatly improve our offensive options.
Overall we would greatly improve our strike options as well as both retaining and modernising a capability so as to stay as the premeir military force in the region which if we are not careful will soon be eroded as we can not just rely on our superior training and dertermination forever
