The Base Fuze Mk 39 replaces the original special "green stripe" Base Fuze Mk 28; the Auxiliary Detonating Fuze Mk 35 replaces the original special "green stripe" Mk 17 Mod 8. These fuzes are now being replaced by the Base Fuze Mk 48 and the Auxiliary Detonat-ing Fuze Mk 55. |
|
The Mk 14 is simply a different designation to indicate a different maufacturer. |
