No - Ballistic missiles are ejected in an air bubble, using compressed air while the boat is at periscope depth. When the missile clears the water surface, its solid fuel rocket motor ignites, sending it on its way to the target.
Cruise missiles can be launched by VLS (Vertical Launch System) tubes, or by standard torpedo tubes. Torpedo tube launches are performed by flooding the tube with water, and a piston ram system ejects the water and weapon out of the tube, where its motor ignites. VLS launches are similar to BM launches in that they are ejected by air pressure.

Can a Lockheed a12 launch missiles?
The Lockheed A-12, primarily a reconnaissance aircraft developed in the 1960s, was not designed to launch missiles. Its main function was to gather intelligence using high-speed, high-altitude flight capabilities. While it could carry equipment for surveillance, it lacked the armament systems necessary for missile deployment. Thus, it did not have the capability to launch missiles as part of its operational design.
What type of missiles do submarines shoot?
Submarines typically launch a variety of missiles, including ballistic missiles (such as the Trident and Bulava) designed for long-range nuclear deterrence, and cruise missiles (like the Tomahawk) for precision strikes against land and sea targets. Some submarines are also equipped with anti-ship missiles to engage enemy vessels. These missiles are often launched from vertical launch systems or torpedo tubes, allowing for stealthy and flexible operational capabilities.
