Mine countermeasures ship
| Морской словарь |
A vessel carrying high-technology sonar and video systems, cable cutters and mine detonating devices that can be released and activated by remote control. it is also capable of conventional minesweeping. a hull of fiberglass sheathed wood to reduces or eliminates the hazards posed by magnetic mines.

Technology, английский
- The use of tools and knowledge to meet human needs.
- Техника; технология
- Техника (означает все знания или неотъемлемую часть знаний о: научных принципах или открытиях; промышленных процессах; материальных и энергетических ресурсах; средствах транспорта и связи, постольку, поскольку эти знания непосредственно касаются развития производства товаров или сферы услуг; документы юнеско)
- N технология speech recognition ~ технология распознава- ния речи3
- Национальный институт стандартов и технологии
- Технология
- The body of knowledge about, and the systematic study of, methods, techniques and hardware applied in the adaptation of the physical environment to man`s needs and wants. the application of scientific knowledge to build or improve the infrastructure of agriculture, industry government and daily life. (technology must not be confused with the very infrastructure it generates). technology has autocatalytic properties. it favores the use of technical devices and processes even in solving social problems, e.g., by using fertilizers to enhance agricultural production rather than a different form of work organization, by using computers for national planning rather than decentralized decision making processes.
- The practical application of knowledge to achieve particular tasks that employs both technical artefacts (hardware, equipment) and (social) information (‘software’, know-how for production and use of artefacts). supply push aims at developing specifi c technologies through support for research, development and demonstration. demand pull is the practice of creating market and other incentives to induce the introduction of particular sets of technologies (e.g., low-carbon technologies through carbon pricing) or single technologies (e.g., through technology-specifi c feed-in tariffs).

Minesweeping, английский
The activity of detecting and destroying, removing, or neutralizing explosive marine mines. mines cut loose are either collected for intelligence analysis or destroyed by gunfire. • contact minesweeping: a special cutting wire is dragged though the water, either between two ships or between a ship and a paravane. when it hits the mooring wire of the mine it severs it. • distance minesweeping: a device towed behind the minesweeper emits sounds and magnetism that mimic the signature of a real ship, thereby exploding the mine. • airborne minesweeping: traditionally used towed cutter arrays and sleds equipped for acoustic and magnetic detonation, but flying with a tow is a difficult and highly-skilled activity. • advanced airborne techniques: have no in-water components, contributing to faster sweeps, easing pilot fatigue, and maximizing time on station. they include multiple sonars and electro-optical or laser sensors that scan large areas of ocean quickly, detect floating and moored mines down to at least keel depth, and detonate them with laser-aimed rapidfire cannon.
Fiberglass, английский
- Стекловолокно
- Стеклопластик
- Стекловолокно, стеклянное волокно
- A construction method using layers of woven glass mats that are bonded together with glue.

Mine countermeasures support ship, английский
A converted amphibious assault ship that provides alongside services and command and control for up to four mine countermeasures ships. it has enhanced c4i capabilities, upgraded close-in weapon systems, various radars, and an embarked helicopter squadron. it provides repair facilities for weapons, aircraft, etc., and can accommodate four explosive ordnance disposal groups with their equipment. mine damage:mines harm ships in three different ways. the injury inflicted depends on the distance of the hull from the detonation and, surprisingly, damage initially tends to increase with distance until the range becomes too great and it falls rapidly to zero. • contact damage: when a mine explodes close beside the hull, it blows a hole that floods one or more compartments. pieces of casing or hull may wound some of the crew, but the ship will possibly stay afloat. • bubble jet impact: if the mine detonates a small distance from the ship, it creates an expanding cavitation bubble with walls that move faster than the speed of sound in water, striking the hull and tear- 203 mine ing plates apart. when this initial force has expended itself, the bubble collapses and then re-expands, creating a “shaped water-jet” that blasts in through the original hole and breaches the next bulkhead in line. such heavy damage almost certainly sinks the ship and may break it apart. • shaking injury: if the mine detonates a little further from the ship, the change in water pressure causes the hull to resonate, shaking the entire vessel, ripping engines from their beds, and loosening hundreds, perhaps thousands, of rivets. with a myriad of tiny leaks and no power for the pumps, this can often be the most damaging outcome of all.
Mine countermeasures, английский
Any method used to reduce or prevent damage or danger from naval mines.
