The present invention relates to a faired towing cable used on a ship to tow a sea-launched submersible body. The cable (14) comprises a core (24) and a fairing (26, 28) mounted on the core (24). The fairing (26, 28) is profiled in such a way as to reduce the hydrodynamic drag of the cable (14). The fairing comprises several leading edges (26) and several trailing edges (28) mounted on the leading edges (26). A trailing edge (28) is held directly on two adjacent leading edges (26).
