Mine countermeasures support ship
| Морской словарь |
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.
