| Mk 15 Mod 3 Practice Bomb is a light-cased, cylindrical body with a threaded filling hole in its rounded nose. A box fin assembly consisting of four metal vanes attached to a cone is welded to the aft end of the body. The bomb has two metal suspension band assemblies (each consisting of a circular clamp, a suspension lug, and two cap screws) for tightening the band to the bomb. The bomb is used with the practice bomb signal, Mk7 Mod 0 and inert fuze Mk 247 Mod 0 both of which are secured to the aft of the bomb. Upon impact of the bomb with the target, the signal is detonated, producing a flash and a large puff of smoke. The bomb is filled with wet sand and when fully assembled weighs approximately 100 pounds |
