The launching system for missiles is used on submarines or submerged platforms. The system anticipates initially a launching capability of two types of missiles of different weights. Since the change of weight of the vessel after missile ejection, without flooding control, would vary depending upon whether a normal weight or light missile was launched, the operation of weight compensation in the vessel is complicated. A cavity is created for trapping air within the launch tube thus reducing the amount of flooded water in the tube when a light weight missile has been ejected. By this arrangement, the weight of the flooded water is controlled and limited to approximately that of the ejected missile.
