I have said this before on here.
You CANNOT launch a MK-48 in Swimout.

In fact the FCS (Fire Control System) will not allow you to do this. You will never get a 'Launcher Ready' signal to make the launch interlocks.

Seawolf class uses a modified (upgraded) turbine pump from the Tridents to push the weapon out. It is much quieter than the ram pump used on 688's and before.. Virginia's use a modified (upgraded) version of the Seawolfs.
