Description: A Tomahawk cruise missile protrudes from an All-Up-Round (AUR) canister. Four canisters are contained in a Mark 143 Armored Box Launcher, which protected the missiles from damage prior to launch. This photo shows two of the four box launchers carried by the U.S.S. New Jersey. The New Jersey was the first operational warship to fire a Tomahawk cruise missile in 1983.
