Original U.S Vietnam War Navy Practice Bomb Mk 15 Mod 3 - Inert

Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. This bomb is totally inert and deactivated following guidelines provided by the ATF. It cannot be converted to an explosive device and is not available for export. This example is offered in good condition and has been repainted. It measures approximately 41 inches long, and the square tail fins measure 8 inches per side.

Mk 15 Mod 3 Practice Bomb is a light-cased, cylindrical body with a threaded filling hole in its rounded nose. A box fin assembly consisting of four metal vanes attached to a cone is welded to the aft end of the body. The bomb has two metal suspension band assemblies (each consisting of a circular clamp, a suspension lug, and two cap screws) for tightening the band to the bomb.

There are no suspension lugs on this example. The bomb is used with the practice bomb signal, Mk7 Mod 0 and inert fuze Mk 247 Mod 0 both of which are secured to the aft of the bomb. Upon impact of the bomb with the target, the signal is detonated, producing a flash and a large puff of smoke. The bomb is filled with wet sand and when fully assembled weighs approximately 100 pounds.

This repainted example comes more than ready for display!
