The Seattle Times (January 21, 1991) reported that some of the
Tomahawks lanched against IRAQ where lanched by SSNs.  The names of
the boats used was withheld as was all other infomation.

My guess would be that the opportunity presented itself to test an
underwater launch, under war time conditions, such as they are.
