The modified upper snubber mechanism is an improvement over the snubber mechanism disclosed in patent No. 3,106,132. It is used within a shipboard launcher cell which may be elevated and trained in azimuth, like a deck gun. The structure of the snubber mechanism is such that it engages missiles of different diameters and is adjustable to different fixed positions for the particular diameter missile which is to be launched.
