Summary:A method and device are provided for launching a payload from water, including a launching tube having inside walls, outside walls, a top and an inlet at the tube bottom, with the tube bottom anchored to the bottom water surface. The tube includes a convergent tubular nozzle or neck that is an inlet to the bottom and an outlet open at the top. A gate valve blocking the inlet is opened by remote control signals; or by an explosive plug blocking the inlet removed by an explosion initiated by remote control. The launching tube loaded with a payload and empty of water is installed in water with the inlet deep below the top positioned above the water surface.
