Sea Launch

If you are launching directly from the sea rather than from a platform floating on the sea, can you have a central core flanked by boosters or do you have to have just a single core?

How are you going to launch directly from the sea and not from under the sea?

It will work from under the sea as well, just that the drag of the saltwater is a lot higher than air.
