"US Submarines Bolster Defense Against China with New Ship-Killer Missile"
The US Navy plans to equip submarines with the Maritime Strike Tomahawk (MST) missile, a new version of the Tomahawk missile, to counter China's growing naval power. The MST has a longer range and a new guidance system to engage mobile targets at sea, such as warships. With this upgrade, US submarines will have a powerful ship-killer missile capable of targeting ships up to 1,000 miles away. As tensions persist between China, its neighbors, and the US, the US Navy aims to deter China's naval expansion and maintain its advantage in maritime security.
