Abstract

See full text

An underwater rocket launch system for launching a rocket from deep water includes a capsule for containing the rocket, the capsule being constructed of a thin walled, dual hull to provide a positive buoyancy with a highly pressurized gas introduced within the space between the hulls to offset the external pressure of the water. A releasable anchor pod is attached to the underside of the capsule that becomes separated in water to cause the capsule to sink and remain anchored to the bottom. The capsule may be remotely released from the anchor pod upon receipt of a coded ELF signal so that the capsule rises to the surface whereupon the rocket is automatically launched.
