The U.S. Navy has officially launched Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles (TLAMs), marking the explosive start of Operation Epic Fury. Watch as we break down how Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and submarines delivered a devastating first strike.

Welcome back to DEFENSE NOW. In this video, we analyze the multi-domain escalation of Operation Epic Fury, starting with the U.S. Navy's standoff capabilities in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea. We cover how these Tomahawk missiles utilized TERCOM and GPS guidance to fly at ultra-low altitudes, neutralizing early warning systems and clearing the airspace for F-35 stealth fighters and F/A-18 Super Hornets.

F/A-18F Super Hornets, attached to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 41 "Black Aces", prepare to launch from the flight deck of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72). Operating in contested waters, the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group is executing critical sorties in support of Operation Epic Fury as of Feb. 28, 2026.

The VFA-41 Black Aces are heavily utilizing the advanced capabilities of the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet platform to project power and maintain air superiority during these coordinated strikes.
