The U. S. SLCM [sea-launched cruise missile] under development is sized for launch from standard submarine torpedo tubes... The SLCM is to be developed in both strategic and tactical variants, the former being able to carry a nuclear warhead about 1500 nm. The latter will be designed to be launched from surface ships as well as submarines, primarily as a non-nuclear anti-ship missile with a range of up to several hundred miles. The SLCM will have a low cruise altitude flight profile and will have a high accuracy. The Soviet Union currently has SLCMs of a shorter range deployed on both nuclear-and diesel-powered submarines and surface ships. 4, record 10, English, - sea%2Dlaunched%20cruise%20missile
