A practical route to German submarine-launched cruise missiles

Should Germany and Britain pool funding for a torpedo-tube-launched cruise missile?

Germany's cheaper near-term option is probably to license or buy an existing allied submarine-launched missile and include it in its expanding production program.

The answer challenges the premise that Germany cannot obtain an allied submarine-launched cruise missile. Export Tomahawks are suggested, subject to compatibility with the submarine's torpedo tubes. A submarine-launched Naval Strike Missile is also mentioned, but its availability is explicitly uncertain. The preferred approach is to add submarine-launched cruise missiles to the American-derived missile production program described as being arranged in Germany, while later weapons are developed. This is presented as the probably cheaper option than starting a new joint design with Britain, not as confirmation of a completed integration or purchase.
