This is a cutaway of a jetavator used on the Navy's Poseidon C-3 submarine launched ballistic missile (SLBM). Jetavators like this one controlled the direction of the solid propellant exhaust gases during flight.
The Poseidon C-3 entered service aboard the Navy's fleet ballistic missile submarines in 1973. The Navy took them out of the active inventory in 1991.
