According to Wikipedia's entry for Navy Guided Missile Launching systems, the Mk 4 was an early Twin-arm launcher for the RIM-2 Terrier. It only fit on the Boston class guided missile cruisers. Vertically loading design distinguished this launcher from the horizontally loading Mk 9 and Mk 10.
Also, the Convair RIM-2 Terrier was a two-stage medium-range naval surface-to-air missile (SAM), and was among the earliest surface-to-air missiles to equip United States Navy ships.
