USN submarines

[The Monkey God]

Can anyone tell me whether any USN submarines fired missles into Afghanistan? I know the RN did, but can`t fire any evidence to confirm whether the USN did?

(Reference paragraph 14)

Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, USS Key West was within the Fifth Fleet Operating Area and was the first ship to arrive off the coast of Pakistan, firing Tomahawk cruise missiles into Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
