Tomahawk Missile Away

Here's one from the archive. Aboard a U.S. guided missile frigate in the Adriatic Sea, back in 1999, I had a first generation NC2000 digital camera with me and made 1MegaPixel image of a night launch of a Tomahawk Cruise missile from the bow of the ship. 

The United States, as part of an international coalition, was attacking targets in Belgrade, Serbia, as part of their mission in and around Kosovo. It's a rough image, but seeing that U.S. forces launched another 110 of these against targets in Libya today, appropriate.
