I had no idea they were that big. As my buddy John Wayne would say
"That's a Wonderment"

When a missile is launched, there is a plastic dome covering this bird
that is destroyed by shaped charges. Once its gone a rocket motor blasts
its gasses below this missile and pressurizes this tube above sea
pressure...once on its way, it barely even gets wet!. water pours in and is
actually quite a bit heavier than this missile it
replaced.
A timed high pressure blow of air and an opened water
outlet valve compensates quickly for this difference in ballast weight. A
psub could easily fit inside the inside diameter of this three story missile
tube...it's very
big!

Carsten they do shoot them from underwater. I am not sure what
the diameter of the
tubes are but does not seem like the water would be 65 tons
worth. All combined that
is one heck of a drop weight 1,560 tons

think they shoot them from underwater
- so the compartment will be
filled with water after launching.
