what else does the u.s. navy need? the irony of it is the u.s. navy is not very much needed in the first world war. then balance of battleship numbers between the royal navy's grand fleet and the high seas fleets, which is not coming out of 1916,er the account there's no great battle fleet. there's no admiral type action for the u.s. navy. it's great naval war is going to be 20 years later in the pacific, not in the atlantic. this guy, the anglophile, president of the naval war college, head of the u.s. navy delegation to london, goes there to take over an american battleship flotilla, which is in for the lastarbor 1.5 year of the war. then that the high fleet surrenders in june, 1919. this is not the war for the u.s. .avy to garner great honors it is a war, however, in which moneysts in blood and upon the british empire was such that after 1919, the royal navy admirals can no longer sustain a claim to the politicians that they had to be the number navy in the world. one they had to compromise, as becomes comes in the washington naval treaties of

that got the u.s. navy's attention. the admiral for the warship is armed with missiles. we also learned that one of the u.s. navy destroyers that launch those missiles into syria last night has returned to an undisclosed location to rearm with more tomahawk spirit fox news has also obtained exclusively photos of a man behind the syrian chemical weapons attack. western intelligence sources tell fox news, the syrian chemical weapons unit responsible for the attack is called unit 450 and is led by this man. three years ago, he was put on the u.s. treasury sanctions list, but so far, he has not been brought to justice. defense officials told us 60 tomahawk missiles relaunch last night. we now know one of those tomahawk's failed and likely fell into the sea, about 20 syrian aircraft were destroyed at the airbase. none of the syrian air jets managed to take off an escape before the missiles hit the target. we're told there were no russian aircraft at the syrian airfield at the time of the strike. pentagon officials say they give the russians one hour heads up before the missil

the u.s. navy launched 60 tomahawk missiles, 59 of the 60 hit the target with only one landing in the sea. the tomahawk missile is a very effective choice, it is a precise weapon, it can be fired up to 1,000 miles away. joining is now is the host of war stories, our friend lieutenant colonel oliver north. we have the images, 59 out of 60 targets, pinpoint accuracy. all missing on purpose the chemical weapons that were stored at that air base, tell us more about this incredible weapon in the professionalism of our military. >> let's start with the idea if you want to send a message you can send flowers, but if you want to send a message that matters, santa cruise missiles that's exactly what the president did. the good news about all this, i remember what happened when we did this but to qaddafi, we didn't have this kinds of missiles in the quantities we now have them. we lost an f111 with two airmen. that didn't happen last night, the targets were struck all pinpointed well before they were la

and put it this way d these are large u.s. navy vessels. this video we've been showing you, firing a total of 59 tomahawks cruise missiles into targets well inland from where they were moored in the eastern mediterranean. no matter how large the navy vessel, no matter how formidable the u.s. navy submarine when each of these tomahawks ignites, when each of them leaves their launch tube, the vessel shudders. it is an unmistakable motion and sound to the members of the crew who operate late at night in the eastern mediterranean. it should be noted not without risk. these are leaving the deck with whole lot of explosives on board. $500,000 a piece, give or take. about 18 feet long. war heads of up to ahousand pounds each. and each one o them carries a big ain. they follow the terrain using gps locators. they all know intrinsically where they are headed. and tonight that was an airbase outside the city of homs. we have had some guests on the air tonight say that the damage inflicted was enough to make a measurable change in the assad regime's a

they're shot from u.s. navy vessels in themeterranean. there was some qstion strategically in terms of u.s. options he wheer the u.s. would use manned aircraft, whether these would be bombing raids or whether there would be missiles. one of the factors is that syria not only has a considerable air force, they've got a lot of surface-to-air missiles. they have defenses. russian-made, russian installed, di different levels of those defenses. those are not only capable of shooting down u.s. aircraft. they also conceivably could shoot down missiles. tomahawks are considered to be remarkably not vulnerable to those types of anti-missile defense systems, in part because of how low they fly. so this was a relatively safe option in terms of what the u.s. was putting at risk by doing this. but i think we noted at the beginning of our broadcast tonight, and it's worth going back to. when we think about what the reaction is going to be here, what it means for the u.s. to be attacking the syrian military, which is the first time that has happened des

a u.s. navy aircraft carrier group is heading for waters near the korean peninsula. a pentagon official telling cnn the deployment is in direct response to the recent military moves particularly the launch of a scud missile. fill us in on what u.s. military officials are now saying about the carrier group movement. >> it's one of the task forces. it was conducting an exercise and this is classified as directly in response to the provocation in the explosion but that was the latest of a series of tests by pyongyang, responses from rex tillerson saying the u.s. would no longer speak of these items. this is an action being take nen response to the provocation. >> what are they hoping to accomplish by this action? >> reporter: well, the military does this from time to time. it's a show of force. sometimes they'll have one of their bomber aircraft do a fly over the pen iinsula in respons a demonstration to pyongyang that the u.s. commitment remains steadfast. it's part of the diplomatic game but it is definitely a considerable show of force this time around. >> all right,

that's one of the reasons u.s. navy ships are steaming towards the korean peninsula at least to be prepared. host: that latest news says a u.s. navy strike group led by the uss carl vinson aircraft carkier was making its way toward the korean peninsula unday to maintain readiness. guest: you never know for sure but i would say this is a reassurance move. this is what you want our allies, japan, and south korea but also the the region as a whole to know that we are -- we've got their back. we have a military force that is formidible. a navy aircraft carrier strike force has a lot of destructive power in its ships, in its plains, any case anything prove oktive should happen we would be able to take care of them. so it's mainly for reassurance. it also is an implied threat particularly after the strike on syria there's some that are thinking that donald trump wants to be unpredictable. wants to have the threat that he would take military option against north korea even after something that's relatively benign, not dir

and perhaps the reason we know about it is because the u.s. navy seal was killed. that u.s. navy seal's father, william owens, refused to meet president trump, who surprised owens when he came to dover airbase with his daughter ivanka. his son's body wrought to the base. he was harshly critical of the raidid. mr. owens said, why did he have to do this now? to move so quickly in his administration? can you talk about that first attack -- if it was the first attack? and what it means to talk about these attacks as presidential initiation rites? >> well, first, the particulars of that attack. that attack was aimed to be targeting al qaeda, a local al qaeda affiliate. syriaworth noting that in , many of the rebels who the u.s. has been backing and arming and training often conduct joint nusra, the alth al- qaeda affiliate. a good number of them have joined up with al-nusra. on this rate, it took place in a context of a broader warar and a does onassault, which yemen, funny houthi-armed by saudi arabia. and in n these raids,s, the saus are using u.s. planan, using u.s. bombs, the

the u.s. based only on the goal of halting iran's nuclear program for the next decade. but the trump administration says iran's continued support for terrorism might be grounds, might be reason for the u.s. to drop out of this deal. here to talk about this and one other big topic today, jeremy bash, former chief of staff, director of the cia and the director of the secretary of defense during the obama administration. jeremy is also former counsel of the house intelligence committee. and msnbc military affairs analyst four-star u.s. army general barry mccaffery. gentlemen, welcome to you both. jeremy, just to start off, your take on what we just reported. >> yeah, i just reviewed the tillerson letter. it's basically three terse sentences. it says that iran has complied with the nuclear deal. that's something that democrats and other people who supported the deal will say, aha, see, they are in compliance. but the second sentence says, notwithstanding that,he president has determined that iran

military has shot tomahawk missiles into syria from u.s. navy ships. this footage you're looking at is from 2014 when president obama ordered that 47 tomahawk missiles should be fired at fighters inside syria that were thought to be allied with al qaeda. the united states also led a coalition of arab nations in manned aircraft bombing raid in syria starting september 2014. the united states alone and along with other countries have continued bombing raids in syria for years now both with drones and with manned planes. those air strikes have been targeting isis. those u.s. attacks inside syria continued right through the end of the obama administration and into the start of the new administration too. none of that is new in terms of our u.s. military involvement in the syrian civil war. what is new as of last night is that now we're bombing both sides in that war. previous air strikes and the casual commando raid targeted the al qaeda affiliated fighters. they also targeted syrian government as well, the syrian military. the forces of bashar al assad. w
