Israel deploys nuclear arms in submarines Peter Beaumont in London and Conal Urquhart in Jerusalem Sunday October 12, 2003 The Observer Israeli and American officials have admitted collaborating to deploy US-supplied Harpoon cruise missiles armed with nuclear warheads in Israel's fleet of Dolphin-class submarines, giving the Middle East's only nuclear power the ability to strike at any of its Arab neighbours. I think they meant Popyeye Turbo cruise missiles. Not Harpoon . Popeye could be around 1500 kilometers, Harpoon is anti shipping. and around 120 km. They should have written, 'Harpoon equipped submarines with additional indigenous cruise missiles. The subs were/are the third leg of Israel's nuclear delivery capability.
