Summary
The U.S. Navy is requesting $3 billion to replenish its Tomahawk missiles, which were depleted in the war against Iran. The request is part of the Pentagon’s $1.5 trillion budget proposal, which includes a 1,200% increase in Tomahawk production compared to last year. The Navy had launched at least 850 Tomahawk missiles since the war began on February 28. The Pentagon says the budget request is needed to address growing threats from China, Russia, and other adversaries.
