Well, they can shoot of rockets from Submarines, which works like this, with an ejector button. Once ejected from a nuclear submarine’s torpedo tube, the weapon clears the ship.
While underwater, the rocket can ignite since it carries its own oxygen. So could it be a jet?
Well, a rocket engine differs from a jet engine primarily in one key way. Whereas a jet engine pulls in oxygen from the atmosphere, a rocket carries its own supply of oxygen. (That's how they get thrust in space and under water). A liquid rocket engine carries a liquid fuel and a liquid oxidizer in two separate tanks. The two liquids are pumped into a combustion chamber where they are mixed and burned. Just as in an jet engine this combustion process generates a high-pressure gas that is exhausted through a nozzle to generate thrust.
In a jet, air enters the engine through an inlet and is then slowed down and compressed by a series of compressor blades. The compressed air is then mixed with fuel, typically a petroleum-based liquid similar to kerosene, and burned. The high-pressure gas is exhausted through a nozzle to generate thrust
The purpose of the jet engine as well as the rocket engine is to combust a mixture of fuel and oxygen. During this combustion process generates a high-pressure exhaust creates thrust to push a vehicle forward. The fundamental difference between the two types of engines, however, is where the oxidizer comes from.
A rocket carries its own supply of oxygen internally while a jet must obtain oxygen from the external atmosphere. Another more technical way to explain this difference is that the fluid a jet engine accelerates to produce thrust is air from the atmosphere whereas the fluid a rocket accelerates to produce thrust is the exhaust from its own combustion process. It is for this reason that a rocket works in the vacuum of space and under water, where there is no atmosphere or oxygen, while a jet engine will not.
So this clip might show a rocket propelled air plane.
