A torpedo tube shutter door assembly includes a series of segmented, abutting panels constituting a shutter door for selectively blocking an elongate opening formed in an outer hull of a submarine. The panels are movable between a closed position in which the panels fair to the outer hull and block the opening, and an open position in which the panels slidably move away from the opening along a longitudinal axis. Links connect the panels together and a guide mechanism guides the sliding movement of the panels between their closed and open positions. A drive actuates sliding movement of the panels between closed and open positions.
