The bomb body is made of welded steel sheet metal. Bomb are complete as shipped, except for the loading of the inert charge of water or wet sand. Anti-freeze could be added to prevent freezing. A filler hole is provided at or near the nose for loading. Neither fuzes or spotting charges are provided for this bomb. If an arming wire was desired for use with the bomb for training purposes, a small washer could be soldered to the bomb nose. The bomb is equipped with trunnions for dive bombing and may be suspended only from double-hook bomb racks or shackles, or in slings. The Mark 11 and 21 bombs are nearly identical, while the Mark 5 is longer and slightly larger in diameter.
