Hayler absolutely did fire Tomahawks! As a matter of fact.....one of my coworkers (fellow FCC) was aboard her & was standing Tomahawk Launch Controller during events which occured in Yugoslavia (wish I were allowed to post pics of that ).

Tom, isn't that the truth. I'm not sure if you're familiar with todays Navy rates with all the merging thats been going on......but there are no more GMG's & GMM's, just GM's. Also, no FTG's & FTM's, just FC's.
