ABSTRACT:
An undersea vehicle storage and ejection system includes a capsule having a cavity therein adapted to store and launch a vehicle. The capsule has an opening at one end for passage of the vehicle therethrough. A closure member is suitably adapted to be mateable with the housing at the opening to seal the cavity. A rocket unit is incorporated within the capsule to remove the closure member at launch. The closure member includes a sealing arrangement for withstanding the hydrostatic pressure when the system is in the undersea environment of use and block the entry of sea water into the cavity. The rocket unit, when ignited, rapidly builds up pressure within the capsule to a level exceeding the external hydrostatic pressure on the cover, thereby removing the cover so that the vehicle may be launched.
