Disclosed is a system and a method for deploying and recovering an autonomous underwater craft by a ship-towed recovery vehicle. The craft is stored in the recovery vehicle's housing. The deployment is carried out in a first stage submerging the recovery vehicle with the craft stored therein, and a second stage releasing the craft. The ship includes a tilting launch ramp where the recovery vehicle is stored. The launch ramp takes at least a raised position with the recovery vehicle out of the water and an inclined position with the launch ramp rear end immersed. A translational device enables, in the launch ramp inclined position, the recovery vehicle to move along the launch ramp to be submerged and move from the ship while in tow during deployment and to be raised along the launch ramp during recovery. The system and the craft form an underwater exploration assembly.
