The GWLS.58 or Guided Weapon Launch System no.58 is a joint venture of the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland and Lyme and Martens Industries Aerospace Technologies Division initially manufactured in 2004 to launch the GWS.58 Hurricane supersonic cruise missile from the Port-class cruise missile submarine. The GWLS.58, like the GWLS.35, has undergone several modifications, the latest of which being the GWLS.58M3 (GWLS no.58, Surface Vessel variant, Mk.3) equipping the latest batch of Europa-class heavy command battleships.
Like guided weapons systems numbers, GWLS numbers are designated by the Defence Procurement Agency, followed by the requisite launch environment classification and variant or mark number.
