In the illustrated embodiment, the launcher means comprises an elongated support beam (45) for selective engagement by a longitudinally extending tubular member (32) attached to each missile and includes transfer means (51, 52, 60, 61) for transferring a missile between the storage means and the launcher means when the latter is in said loading position.
