The San Fran is SSN-711 which did not have vertical launch tubes. That started with the SSN-718 I think. We could fire Tomahawks out of the torpedo tubes however.

Memory failed; should have looked it up first. The VLS tubes were first installed on the SSN 719 (USS Providence), NOT the SSN 718 (USS Honolulu).
