Practice bomb MK15 Mod 2 (fig. 2-62 and table 2-50) is identical to the Mod 3 except that it is not adapted for the use of a fuze and signal. It is filled with water or a mixture of sand and water (fig. 2-63) for spotting purposes. For training purposes, a small washer may be soldered to the nose of the bomb to simulate a fuze. The end of an arming wire (which is normally inserted in the fuze of service type bombs) is then secured to the washer. For armed releases, the washer is torn free of the bomb by the arming wire; for safe releases, the arming wire remains secured to the washer. When used against armored-deck target boats, it is filled with water and released from an altitude of less than 7,000 feet.
