ABSTRACT:
The missile launching assembly includes a mount tube having a circumferenl tapered continuous groove, a launch tube within the mount tube, a shatterable end closure on the end of the launch tube adapted to be shattered when the missile is launched, a locking device in the form of a single split ring or a plurality of arcuate-shaped ring segments with a cross-section to match the groove taper positioned within the groove and between the mount tube and the flange of the end closure, and one or more circumferentially oriented spreading elements, such as expanding jackscrews fitted into the ring or ring segments for increasing the ring circumference to bring pressure to bear on the closure flange. The launch tube is designed to contain therein in a lengthwise direction the missile to be fired.
The mount tube is a permanent part of the vehicle such as a submarine, from which the missile is to be launched.
