The visible element of the RBU-6000 is a 12-tube launcher mounted on a distinctive pedestal. This remotely controlled launcher is fed from the lower deck magazine using a hoist system. The launcher is controlled by a fire control system that uses sonar input. Older fixed-mount launchers required the entire ship to be steered in order to aim. The RBU-6000 can rotate and raise, and is stable for pitch and roll.
