BTW..I read yesterday that the cost of the version of Tomahawk that was used is down to $250,000. They probably couldn’t wait to use them so they could get the latest and greatest!!"
It seems people keep throwing around a rather high ball number unit cost (1.4million). They may have gotten it from Wiki. I don't know.
Here is the US Navy reference:
TOMAHAWK CRUISE MISSILE (Unit Cost: Approximately $569,000).
If it is down to a quarter million, the better.
“They may have gotten it from Wiki.”
Yup....Manufacturer General Dynamics (initially)
Raytheon/McDonnell Douglas
Unit cost $1.87M(FY2017)[1] (Block IV)

Didn’t know this:
