Depth Charge Firing Mechanism

Depth Charge Firing Mechanisms are components used in depth charges, which are anti-submarine warfare weapons. These mechanisms are responsible for initiating the detonation of the depth charge when it reaches a predetermined depth or comes into contact with a target.

In the supply class "Depth Charges And Components, Inert," these firing mechanisms are classified as inert, meaning they are not live or active explosives. They are used for training, testing, or display purposes, and do not pose a risk of explosion.

The Depth Charge Firing Mechanism typically consists of a combination of mechanical, electrical, and/or chemical components. These components work together to ensure the safe and reliable functioning of the depth charge.

It is important to note that specific details and designs of Depth Charge Firing Mechanisms may vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific model of the depth charge.
