Let me spell it out in crayons:
Satellite spots a Houthi leader in port. You have three options:
1) Fire the last 2 of ~30 Tomahawks. Hope they hit. Then sit around for 2 weeks while your ship runs home to reload.

Shelling them with 16” rounds would be much cheaper and more effective. Why are we ripping the deck guns off the USS Zumwalt. Where are the rail guns the Navy promised us? Why haven’t more Navy Admirals been fired?
