Summary:The invention disclosed is a novel bulkhead structure for use with rocket launchers which employ a plurality of cylindrical launch tubes. The bulkhead includes openings which are aligned with corresponding launch tube openings. The bulkhead openings are counterbored to receive the launch tube ends and to provide a smooth transition between the launch tubes and the bulkhead to prevent rocket-to-bulkhead interference when the rockets are launched.
