![]() |
An item designed to provide a safe-when-adrift feature in an underwater mine. It is assembled to an underwater mine case and contains a spring loaded shackle to which the mooring is secured. When properly moored, tension of the mooring chain or cable operates the underwater mine extender; when this tension is released the item releases the extender and allows it to retract, rendering the underwater mine safe.
Additional Information for Underwater Mine Mooring And Safety Device
Underwater Mine Mooring and Safety Devices are essential components used in the deployment and operation of underwater mines. These devices are designed to ensure the safe and secure mooring of underwater mines, as well as to provide additional safety measures to prevent accidental detonation or unauthorized access.
The mooring devices are responsible for anchoring the underwater mines in place, preventing them from drifting or being moved by currents or other external factors. These devices typically consist of strong cables or chains that are attached to the mine and secured to the seabed or other fixed structures.
Safety devices, on the other hand, are designed to minimize the risk of accidental detonation or tampering with the underwater mines. These devices may include various mechanisms such as locking mechanisms, arming and disarming mechanisms, and safety interlocks. They are intended to ensure that the mines can only be armed and activated under controlled and authorized conditions.
Overall, Underwater Mine Mooring and Safety Devices play a crucial role in the safe and effective use of underwater mines, ensuring their stability, security, and controlled operation.
