This Tomahawk surface to surface missile was launched from USS SAN JACINTO on March 24, 2003 against an Iraqi military target. The ship was positioned in the Red Sea at the time with Jay MacKercher in command. Our national colors and the state flag of Texas fly from the ship during any action. The missile cruiser is named after the battle of San Jacinto in which Sam Houston and his Texans routed Mexican General Santa Ana and his forces in 1836.
