A towable body for an underwater vehicle is disclosed. The towable body comprises a top section and a bottom section. The top section comprises at least one antenna for communicating with at least one remote communication system. The bottom section is connected to the top section. The bottom section comprises a cavity having at least one communication system removably housed therein for communicating with the at least one remote communication system through the at least one antenna and for communicating with the underwater vehicle. The towable body is configured to be carried in contact with the underwater vehicle in a non-deployed position. The towable body comprises an airfoil shape to provide hydrodynamic lift during deployment of the towable body under water. The airfoil cross-sectional shape is swept to match the shape of a diameter of the underwater vehicle to approximately conform the towable body to a contour of an outer surface of the underwater vehicle.
