ABSTRACT:
A naval ground mine comprising two modules (1, 2) each having a cylindrical casing (4) containing explosive material. The modules have mating end faces (5), each provided with a spigot (6). Lips (7) on adjacent spigots form an annular projection which tapers in a radially outward direction. The two modules (1, 2) are held together by a split ring (3) having a corresponding internally tapered surface (9), which embraces this annular projection. As the ring (3) is tightened, the adjacent end faces (4, 5) are drawn tightly together. The external surface of the ring provides a smooth transition between the external surfaces of the modules, so as to minimize surface discontinuity and the possibility of detection by sonar.
