RAT-C was a program to develop a stand-off ASW weapon that used a nuclear depth charge.

With the failure of both the RAT-A and RAT-B programs, RAT-C was redesigned from a stand-off nuclear ASW weapon to one that could use not only a nuclear depth charge but also homing ASW torpedo.

During World War II, a US submarine, the USS Puffer ( SS-268 ), came under several hours of depth charge attack by a Japanese surface vessel until the ship became convinced the submarine had somehow escaped.

where I is the current across the plate length, B is the magnetic field, d is the depth ( thickness ) of the plate, e is the elementary charge, and n is the charge carrier density of the carrier electrons.

A number of anti-submarine missiles also exist ; these generally use the missile in order to deliver another weapon system such as a torpedo or depth charge to the location of the submarine, at which point the other weapon will conduct the underwater phase of the mission.

The effectiveness of early ASDIC was hamstrung by the use of the depth charge as an anti-submarine weapon.

A typical modern lined shaped charge can penetrate armor steel to a depth of 7 or more times the diameter of the charge ( charge diameters, CD ), though greater depths of 10 CD and above have been achieved.

The jet cuts any material in its path, to a depth depending on the size and materials used in the charge.

The batteries showed high specific energy up to 50 W · h / kg ( 180 kJ / kg ), power density up to 1000 W / kg and a reasonable life of 500 charge cycles ( at 100 % depth of discharge ).

* Depth charge thrower, a mortar-like weapon used to launch depth charges at targets distant from the ship

Gilligan pushed the Skipper out of the way of a loose depth charge when they were both serving in the United States Navy.

* Mk 101 Lulu, a nuclear depth charge formerly used by the United States

Unlike the cylindrical, barrel-shaped depth charge used earlier, the Mark IX is streamlined and equipped with canted fins to impart rotation on the depth charge, allowing it to fall in a straight trajectory with less chance of drifting off target.

This type of depth charge contained 200 pounds ( 90 kg ) of Torpex.

The depth charge has now largely been replaced by anti-submarine homing torpedoes.

A depth charge fitted with a nuclear warhead is known as a nuclear depth bomb.

The first effective depth charge, the Type D, became available in January 1916.

If he thus achieves a lyrical, dreamlike, drugged intensity, he pays the price for his indulgence by producing work -- Allen Ginsberg's `` Howl '' is a striking example of this tendency -- that is disoriented, Dionysian but without depth and without Apollonian control.

Mimesis is the nearest possible thing to the actual re-living of experience, in which the imagining person recovers through images something of the force and depth characteristic of experience itself.

It is beyond the province of this epilogue to cover policy questions of such depth and range.

Master Gorton, having foully abused high and low at Aquidneck is now bewitching and bemaddening poor Providence, both with his unclean and foul censures of all the ministers of this country ( for which myself have in Christ's name withstood him ), and also denying all visible and external ordinances in depth of Familism: almost all suck in his poison, as at first they did at Aquidneck.

yet here was a depth of sensibility which is lacking in a considerable portion of the beneficiaries of our civilization.

When a hole is to be bored to a predetermined depth, mark the depth on the side of the stock, then run the bit down so that it is even with the mark.

In following this general principle, Mason provides the observer with a natural eye progression from foreground to background, and the illusion of depth is instantly created.

The infrared emission could then be assumed to originate at the surface of the moon, while the radio emission originates at some depth beneath the surface, where the temperature variation due to solar radiation is reduced in amplitude and shifted in phase.

Literal flatness now tends to assert itself as the main event of the picture, and the device boomerangs: the illusion of depth is rendered even more precarious than before.

The trompe-l'oeil illusion here is no longer enclosed between parallel flatnesses, but seems to thrust through the surface of the drawing paper and establish depth on top of it.

Planes defined as parallel to the surface also cut through it into real space, and a depth is suggested optically which is greater than that established pictorially.

The greater the depth of the water, the greater is the speed of the wave ; ;

Lagrange's law says that its velocity is equal to the square root of the product of the depth times the acceleration due to gravity.

It is an experience of a new depth of community derived from an awareness of the corporate indwelling of Christ in His people.

but when the sounds of the two speakers are allowed to mix, there is excellent depth and dimension to the music.

The average depth of the Atlantic, with its adjacent seas, is ; without them it is.

The greatest depth, Milwaukee Deep with, is in the Puerto Rico Trench.

The depth of water at the apex of the ridge is less than in most places, while the bottom of the ridge is three times as deep.

It can be armed with Stingray air-launched torpedoes and depth charges for anti-submarine warfare, as well as a machine gun.

Because production could not keep up with demand, anti-submarine vessels initially carried only two depth charges, to be released from a chute at the stern of the ship.

Agerholm launched an ASROC anti-submarine rocket armed with a nuclear depth bomb during the Operation Dominic I and II | Swordfish test of 1962

During the Second World War depth charges that could be set to detonate at a specific depth and later when in proximity with a metal object replaced " anti-submarine " bombs that detonated on contact.

Two depth charge racks and six anti-submarine mortars were carried.

The Hedgehog ( also known as an Anti-Submarine Projector ) was an anti-submarine weapon developed by the Royal Navy during World War II, that was deployed on convoy escort warships such as destroyers to supplement the depth charge.

A boxcar delivery containing a new airborne anti-submarine depth charge design, the Mark 47 armed with of torpex, was being loaded into No. 2 hold.

Thereafter the base developed in relation to NATO requirements during the Cold War, and was the focus of anti-submarine operations with US-controlled nuclear depth charges.

Various fuzing modes were available, including a hydrostatic fuze for use as a depth charge for anti-submarine use.

The primary Japanese anti-submarine weapon for most of WWII was the depth charge, and Japanese depth charge attacks by its surface forces initially proved fairly unsuccessful against U. S. fleet submarines.

In addition to resetting their depth charges to deeper depths, Japanese anti-submarine forces also began employing autogyro aircraft and Magnetic Anomaly Detection ( MAD ) equipment to sink U. S. subs, particularly those plying major shipping channels or operating near the home islands.

Non-guided anti-submarine weapons, such as mines and depth charges, are " dumb " weapons that has to be carried to the submarine or that the submarine has to come in close proximity of.

Perhaps the simplest of the anti-submarine weapons, the depth charge, is a large canister filled with explosives and set to explode at a predetermined depth.

The Royal Navy ships, and Leeds Castle ( K384 ), were used to portray a German anti-submarine vessel dropping depth charges.

Two hydraulic-release depth charge chutes were carried for anti-submarine warfare.

Thinking that it was just a Japanese minesweeper and a three-stack Siamese destroyer Phra Ruang, the Japanese vessel operated in consort with the anti-submarine vessel attacked and sank USS Harder thru a technique known as depth charge attack.

Both the Quadruple Alliance and the Entente patrolled the Atlantic, which accelerated the development of convoys to protect merchantmen and specific anti-submarine tactics and weapons, such as Q-ships and depth charge projectors.
