Disclosed herein is an aquatic vehicle torpedo launch system comprising of an aquatic vehicle. A torpedo launch system is coupled to the aquatic vehicle. The torpedo launch system is operable in a neutral buoyance position. A plurality of torpedoes is included. Each torpedo is coupled to the torpedo launch system with a locking means. Power cables are coupled to each torpedo providing power to the plurality of torpedoes. Fiber optic cables are coupled to each torpedo enabling programming of the plurality of torpedoes. The locking means, the power cables and the fiber optic cables are disengaged from the plurality of torpedoes prior to launch. Each torpedo is launched by buoyancy.

An example is directed to a marine vessel disablement system including an underwater vehicle including an underwater vehicle propulsion system and a warhead; a propulsion mechanism disabling member disposed in the warhead; and an energy unit in the warhead to launch the propulsion mechanism disabling member to mechanically disable a target propulsion mechanism of a marine vessel.

In one embodiment, a method of automated missile launcher reloading includes aligning one or more collars of a shelving system with a path of a canister and activating one or more rollers of the shelving system to translate the canister into the one or more collars. The method also includes coupling a first collar of the one or more collars to the canister and adjusting the one or more collars to align the canister with a path of a launcher cell. The method further includes translating the one or more collars into the path of the launcher cell to feed the canister into the launcher cell.
