They are buying 65, but no announcing how many they are shooting...

A British submarine now lurking off Newport Beach will fire un-armed
Tomahawk cruise
missiles toward the Mojave Desert. It's part of a test and it could take
place as early as today.
The British, notwithstanding their rich naval history, have neither the
experience nor the
tracking stations to launch cruise missiles within the United Kingdom
and they've never
launched a Tomahawk. U.S. Navy experts will be helping the crew of HMS
Splendid during the
test. The British government is buying 65 Tomahawks in a $320 million
deal.
