Abstract

For launching and recovering tethered remote controlled submarine vehicles a reinforced flexible free-flooding tube 3 adapted to be deployed from a ship is provided with one end of the tube remaining attached to the ship, the tube having passed therethrough an umbilical cable 1 for a remote controlled submarine vehicle. The cable and tube are deployed from a winch drum 2. The upper end of the tube has a conical termination 4 which locates in a support 6 mounted outboard of the ship. The lower end of the tube may have a docking latch to assist in recovery of the vehicle.
