The Mark 22 guided missile launching system (GMLS) is a variation of the Mark 13 launcher which has only the inner 16 round storage ring of the Mk-13 launcher. It was deployed on US-designed, Baleares-class Spanish frigates. and US Navy Brooke class frigates. Another major difference is that on the Mk-22 the magazine is non-rotating. The launcher rotates over the desired missile and it is then hoisted onto the rail. On the Mk-13 the magazine rotates under the launcher.

Used for:
RIM-24 Tartar SAM
RIM-66 Standard Missile SM-1MR SAM
RGM-84 Harpoon SSM


Used on:
Brooke class FFG
Baleares class Frigate (Spain)
