The U.S. Navy, while partnering with joint forces and coalition forces, made several first-time accomplishments During Operation Odyssey Dawn March 31.
During the beginning of Odyssey Dawn, strikes were made against Libyan military sites by coalition forces with Tomahawk Land to Air Missiles (TLAMs), the evening of March 19. Amidst the forces were two U.S. Navy ships and three submarines, including the USS Florida (SSGN 728).
This strike against Libyan forces marked the first time that an Ohio-class guided-missile submarine launched a TLAM in conflict.
