Full Scale Shock Tests - USS Niagara APA87, Part 2- Failures in Electronic Equipment

Abstract

The electrical and mechanical failures on 30 identical units of Navy Model BN electronic equipment during full scale underwater noncontact explosions against the USSS NIAGARA APA87 are described. No major mechanical failures were encountered. Practically all failures were attributed to improper location or inadequate design of a few selected components. In general, the equipment could be made to function properly after each explosion by making minor mechanical or electrical repairs.
