Vertical launchers have fewer moving parts, and do not suffer from the blind arcs associated with trainable launchers.
The flexibility of a vertical launcher means that not all the cells in the launcher may be available for defensive missiles.
On the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, the first vessel to carry the system, 16-cell Sylver vertical launch systems for Aster 15 missiles are installed on the edge of the deck on the starboard side forward of the bridge and on the port side aft of the bridge.

 Encyclopedia: Tomahawk missile
Each missile is stored and launched from a pressurized canister that protects it during transportation and storage and acts as a launch tube.
These canisters are racked in armored box launchers, as on the battleship Missouri, vertical launch systems in other surface ships and the later Los Angeles-class submarines, and in submarines' torpedo tubes.
The missile is launched and steered for the first few seconds of flight by a solid fuel booster with steering vanes in its exhaust.

The PAAMS system is able to control and coordinate several missiles in the air at once, allowing several tracks to be intercepted, and the SYLVER missile launcher can be upgraded in the future to add more modern weapons if necessary (as they become available).
The Type 45 is also planned to be given cruise missile launchers if the need arise in the future.
The UK had sought to procure the ships in collaboration with 7 other NATO nations under the NFR-90 project and then with France and Italy through the Horizon CNGF programme, however differing national requirements, workshare arguments and delays led to the UK withdrawing from both and starting its own national project.

The test vehicle, containing a solid rocket booster and not the final ram rocket motor, was rail-launched from a ground-based launcher, flew a ballistic trajectory and impacted about nine kilometres down-range.
Main objectives of this test were to assess safe separation from the launcher, booster performance, as well as the validation of the aerodynamics and strength of the infrared window and missile structure.
Under particular observation was the mechanical and thermal behaviour of the launcher-container as well as the attitude of the missile as it exited the launcher.

Although most in the RN would rather have had a 32 cell MK-41 VLS in place of the French Sylver launcher, contractual obligations didn`t allow for it.
Apart from more powerful armor and electronics, the major changes were the replacement of the forward "Sylver" launcher with a 32 cell tactical lenght MK-41 launcher, and the replacement of the gas turbines with nuclear turbines, giving greatly improved endurance.
MK-41 Strategic 16 Cell VLS (2): A American design which was much more flexible than the French Sylver launcher of the same period, the Strategic length VLS cells could hold either a single Cruise Missile, two Long range missiles, or four medium range missiles.

 House of Commons - Defence - Eighth Report
While the French/Italian 'Sylver' PAAMS launcher is tailored for the anti-air 'Aster' missile, the VLS-41 (already in service on many US Navy ships) can accommodate missiles fulfilling a number of roles—tactical ballistic missile defence, land-attack, anti-surface ship and anti-submarine, as well as anti-air warfare.
In the particular case of the missile launcher for the Type-45, we expect the MoD to examine carefully the scope for designing-in the ability to fit a wider range of missile types including the sort of Tomahawk land-attack missiles (TLAM) that the Royal Navy used in Operation Allied Force.
It may be possible to adapt the Sylver launcher at some future point for use with more types of missile, but a more flexible option would be to provide enough space in the ship to accommodate a VLS-41 launcher.
