Explanation:

launched

- **Released**: This term generally refers to setting something free or available, and is not typically used to describe ships being introduced to water.
- **Launched**: ✔️ This is the correct term for when a ship is put into the water for the first time. It specifically denotes the event where a ship leaves the shipyard and enters service or the sea.
- **Started**: This term is more often used to denote the beginning of a process or activity, rather than the specific act of a ship entering the water for the first time.
- **Recovered**: Typically means retrieving something that was lost, not applicable when referring to introducing a ship to water.

The correct answer is option 2, "launched." 🟢
