Hello,
Here's the name - Practice bomb MK15 Mod 2
(picture attached) is identical to the Mod3 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 for spotting purposes .
For training purposes, a small washer maybe 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 .
