Abstract

See full text

A system for ejecting a missile from a submerged vessel includes: a tube for housing the missile; a tank for storing atmospheric gas as a pressurized liquid, whereby a valve is connected to the tank to allow release of the gas into the tube to eject the missile from the tube; and a microwave emitter located within the liquid in the tank to input heat energy into the liquid to maintain evaporation of the liquid into the gas, whereby the microwave emitter is activated simultaneously with the release of the gas into the tube.
