Wouldn't it be cheaper and as effective to deliver cruise missles from surface ships, planes and land vehicles?

Not sure about the cost factor, but the Boomers represent a strategic advantage, since they are not as vulnerable as a surface ship.

You're close...We didn't just pop up and shoot, we shoot while submerged.
