- 3.Le missile effectue son vol de croisière au ras de la surface de l'eau ( pour Low : bas), de manière à diminuer ses probabilités d'être détecté.
- 4.Le missile, tiré depuis un sous-marin immergé, effectue une remontée à la surface et jaillit hors de l'eau. Au-moment d'arriver à l'air libre, le moteur principal s'allume et le missile effectue son vol de croisière normal. Une des versions de l'Exocet français fonctionne selon ce principe.
