It depends on the weapon (torpedo, missile, mine, or vertical launched missile) but the 2 primary methods are water impulse ejection (torpedoes, torpedo tube launched missiles, mines) and air ejection (vertical launched missiles). Torpedoes also have the ability to swim out (engine startup in the tube) from the torpedo tube if the impulse ejection system is down.
The water impulse system is pretty simple; the tube at the breach end is connected via another vertical tube to a water reservoir that has a piston ram. When high pressure air is dumped from a flask directly into the air side of the piston, it instantly moves the piston ram, forcing the water on the other side of it out of the open tube, ejecting the weapon along with it.
For vertical launched weapons, it's simply a high pressure air bubble that ejects the missile; the rocket motor doesn't actually fire until the weapon clears the ocean surface.

in the water
How is a pink dolphin like submarines?
Pink dolphins are like submarines because they never go in the water, dolphins and submarines alike are have waterphobia and never go in the water. Pink dolphines also are lesbians like submarines
Why cannot submarines go in deepest parts in oceans?
As submarines go deeper they are surrounded by more and more pressure from the water arround them. There are not currently any submarines that can withstand that amount of water pressure.
What problem did the torpedo solve when it was invented?
It didn't necessarily solve anything, it was a weapon of destruction, and since they weren't able to shoot normal bullets at a submarine under water because they weren't able to travel through water, the solution was a torpedo.Submarines' inability to fire a weapon at an enemy, and ships' inability to shoot enemy submarines.
How do submarines go forward?
Most submarines have propellers that spin, pushing them forward. A few smaller research submarines use a water jet for propulsion.
Why does submarines have to go under water?
Submarines are built with a special design that allows them to be faster underwater. Submarines can be used during a war as a way to sneak up to enemy lines in the water, but still stay hidden.
What do both submarines and dolphins bothuse in water?
Sonar
Why are submarines cabins pressurized?
To keep water from leaking in.
What part of the body does archfish shoot water from?
They shoot water from their mouth.
Do water pistols just shoot water?
no they can shoot runny poo
Do submarines explore the atmosphere?
No submarines do not explore the atmosphere. atmosphere means air. Sub means under, Marine means water.
