The primary use of tactical nukes was to be in the European theater. With the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact, the incorporation of Poland et al in NATO, and the splintering of the Soviet Union, they have lost a good deal of their utility.

Nuke44- I really enjoy your posts, but I have a question. It's a little more involved than switching warheads. It's a conversion that costs in excess of $16 million per missile. I've heard that each tomahawk costs around $1 million, so wouldn't it be much more cost effective to just build extra ones instead of retrofitting them? $16 million seems awfully high, even by government standards.
