The Guided Missile Launching System (GMLS) is a device for launching guided missiles, and is found on many U.S. Navy ships.

The Mk 13 GMLS is a single-arm rail-launch system. Initial mods fired Tartar missiles, while later mods supported SM-1 and Harpoon missiles.
The Mk 22 GMLS is a rail-launch system similar to the Mk 13, but with a smaller magazine. It supports Tartar missiles, and is currently deployed on US-built Spanish frigates.
The Mk 26 GMLS is a double-arm rail-launch system which supports SM-1, SM-2, ASROC, and other missile types. It is used on U.S. Navy ships including early Ticonderoga-class cruisers.
The Mk 29 GMLS is an 8-cell launcher, featured on Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. It fires Sea Sparrow missiles.
