Norwegian subs have used torpedo tubes as "marinejeger" (think SEAL) "deployment chamber" for a long time.

Or at least, that's how I've been hearing it.

I believe that were you to actually impulse fire them, though, you'd have a lot of broken bones to deal with. The idea is that they swim out themselves.
