APPARATUS FOR LAUNCHING UMBILICAL-GUIDED MISSILES ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Guided missiles (10) which trail control umbilicals such as optical fibers (20) are launched from an array (16) of launch tubes (14) that point in the same direction. A swing arm (40) extends over the face of the array (16) to capture and move the umbilicals (20) of previously launched missiles (10) away from the portion of the array (16) from which the next missile (10) will be launched, to avoid interference between the launched missile (10) and the existing umbilicals (20). As each missile (10) is launched, the swing arm (40) recycles to capture the umbilical (20) of the newly launched missile (10).
