The Nose Fuze Mk 40 is replacing the Mk 32 when used in the 5"/38 gun. With the 5"/51 bag gun, however, Nose Fuze Mk 32 Mod 40, rather than the Nose Fuze Mk 40, is employed. When these fuzes are used, the projectile adapter is removed, a gas-checked base fuze plug, with no tracer, is fitted into the base, and the Auxiliary Detonating Fuze Mk 54 is employed. |
|
When the V.T. Fuze Mk 53 is used, the base is fitted with a gas-checked base-fuze plug, with no tracer, the projectile adapter is removed, and the Auxiliary Detonator Fuze Mk 44 is employed. |
|
The Auxiliary Detonating Fuze Mk 54 is replacing the Fuzes Mk 17 and Mk 46 in all as-semblies. |
|
With the 1200 f/s I.V. reduced charge for the 5"/38 gun, Nose Fuzes Mk 61 and Mk 29 Mods 2 and 3 with the Auxiliary Detonating Fuze Mk 54 will be employed. |
|
All Mods of this projectile, except Mod 6, may be issued B.L. & P. or B.L. & T. with the Tracer Mk 9 and adapter for target practice. |
|
When these projectiles are used in the 5"/51 bag gun, the Primer Mk 15 Mod 1 is used. |
