The adapter rail adapts a given missile for use in a launching system designed to launch a different missile. The launcher is designed for shipboard use. Apparatus is disclosed for arming a missile secured on an adapter rail and for disconnecting the umbilical cord from the missile as it is launched. A forward and aft snubber hold the missile on the rail. A novel torsion bar and torque tube arrangement is provided for opening the snubbers for launching of the missile.
