Protective apparatus for storing missiles on a ship, from which the missiles may be directly launched vertically, comprises a plurality of mutually adjacent, elongate protective containers (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11) mounted with their respective longitudinal axes vertical and each adapted to support vertically therein a missile (12, 13, 14) in a launch disposition. The upper end of each container has an opening through which the missile can pass during launch, the opening normally being closed by an openable closure (18, 19). The respective lower ends of the containers open, via respective exhaust gas valves, into a common plenum chamber (15) having an exhaust gas vent (16, 17) to atmosphere. Each container has an associated quenching fluid pipeline (23) provided with a quenching fluid valve (22), the valve (22) normally being closed but being automatically and instantaneously openable in response to penetration, by an externally originating projectile or fragment, of a wall of a container whereby pressurised quenching fluid flows into that container to douse or prevent fire or explosion.
