USS Spruance launches Tomahawk

Central Command has released dramatic videos of two San Diego-based warships taking part in military action against Iran.

The two videos show aircraft operations aboard the nuclear-powered carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and the guided-missile destroyer USS Spruance firing cruise missiles.

Crews aboard the giant carrier can be seen loading weapons and launching and recovering F-35C stealth fighters and F/A-18 SuperHornet attack jets on Wednesday

The video of the Spruance shows two Tomahawk land attack missiles launching from the vertical tubes on the destroyer’s bow on Monday.

The Lincoln is leading Carrier Group 3 in the north Arabian Sea, with the Spruance and seven other destroyers operating in support.

Iran said it struck the Lincoln with missiles on Sunday, but the Navy denied the claim, and the video shows no damage to the ship.

President Trump said Friday he expects military operations against Iran to continue for four to six weeks.
