I noticed this on the web but have been able to find nothing else about it.
Raytheon Co., Tucson, Arizona, is being awarded a $303,749,820 firm-fixed-price contract for the procurement of 214 Tomahawk Block IV All-Up-Round vertical launch system missiles and spares. 214 missiles and spares for the U.S. Navy and spares for the government of the United Kingdom.
All up round vertical launch system missiles – I’m I missing something here or does this mean vertical launched not through a torpedo tube?

And yes, 214 for the US navy, and some spares for Royal Navy
