It wouldn't work as you detail above. Has to be a high altitude burst.

*Grape, a 1500 mile range on a Tom nuclear isint sufficient?

Do I need to hait a hard target before detonating?

Even if it did you would have no idea when(Iowas cannot detect that far) or what direction to pull this stunt off, and you blind yourself.

LONG-RANGE LASER/SATELLITE RELAY COMMUNICATIONS: The impressive communications array of the battleship can communicate with up to 500 craft simultaneously at ranges of up to 900 miles (1,440 km). This range can be boosted indefinitely by using satellites or other spacecraft as to relay communications.
LONG-RANGE RADAR: The radar array of the battleship is equally as impressive as the communication system, and can track and identify up to 500 craft simultaneously. The radar system has a 2,000 mile/3,200 km range.

TLAM-Ns were pulled from Navy ships(if they were ever carried) in 1989.

Grape,They were not pulled until the same year that New Jersey retired 1991.

In the above, you wish to start WW3 so you can win this little 1 v 1?
Don't think NCA will give you the codes for that launch.

Grape this has all been theory,stats.capabilities,luck,wargaming and entertainment. We know for fact the two would never face off. We know for fact the two never met or crossed one another at sea in their lifetimes.
