These included launching by air from huge transport jets, "deep basing" in silos located more than 1,000 feet (305 m) underground, shuttling the missiles continuously on trucks or rail cars among "multiple protective shelters," and grouping silos close together in a "dense pack," so that incoming nuclear warheads would destroy or deflect one another.
The entire missile is encased in a canister in the silo to protect it against damage and to permit "cold launch".
When launched, high-pressure steam ejected the canister from the launch silo to an altitude of 150 to 300 feet, and once the missile has cleared the silo, the first stage ignited and sent the missile on its course.

 Missiles at Fylingdales?
The creation of a missile silo facility at Fylingdales would require considerable destruction of National Park land and expansion of the base and its security fencing - something that would cause popular opposition amongst the local population and authorities (on top of that caused by the siting of missiles there at all).
Fylingdales may be tempting as a site for interceptor missie silos because it is not an easy place to demonstrate at, being as it is on the top of the cold, wet North York Moors.
Yorkshire CND is currently sceptical about the basing of Star Wars missiles at Fylingdales but that does not mean we should not be concerned about the potential, that it won't happen or that if it does happen we won't be ready to act.
