A PAYLOAD DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM FOR A SUBMARINE

摘要

A payload deployment system for a vessel, such as a submarine, which includes
a cable extending between a piston in a piston tube and an ejection element in
an ejection tube, wherein the ejection tube is suitable for holding the
payload, such as a torpedo. The system is arranged such that movement of the
piston in the piston tube causes movement of the cable which, in turn, exerts
a force on the ejection element to move it in the ejection tube to eject the
payload from the ejection tube.
