Note-Excluded from this group are items specially designed for nuclear ordnance application.

Additional Information for Torpedos and Components, Inert

NATO Supply Class 1355 is specifically designated for Torpedos And Components, Inert. It falls under NATO Supply Group 13, which is dedicated to Ammunition And Explosives.

This supply class includes various inert components and equipment related to torpedos. Inert torpedos are non-functional replicas or training devices that are used for educational or practice purposes. They are designed to simulate the weight, size, and shape of real torpedos, but do not contain any explosive or propulsion systems.

The components included in this supply class may consist of inert warheads, guidance systems, propulsion systems, control mechanisms, and other related parts. These components are used for training, maintenance, and testing purposes, allowing personnel to practice handling and assembling torpedos without the risk of accidental detonation.

It is important to note that while these torpedos and components are inert and pose no explosive threat, they should still be handled with care and in accordance with safety protocols to prevent any accidents or damage.

Overall, NATO Supply Class 1355 plays a crucial role in supporting the training and maintenance of torpedo systems within the military and defense sectors.
