I'm not so sure about launching a ship from the surface into space with this, but perhaps as a form of high speed, long range travel without the use of jumpholes or jump gates. The problem with your scenario is that the ship would end up moving out of the atmosphere at a high enough speed to be disintegrated by the friction against the atmosphere itself.
