An expendable underwater vehicle for use in training naval forces in anti- submarine warfare in ocean waters, including shallow waters, is between about three to five feet in length and about five inches in diameter, and it includes various improvements which make successful operations in shallow ocean waters, and improved operation in all ocean waters, possible. The improvements include a one-piece nose cup which allows the expendable underwater vehicle to be air launched into shallow water, a scuttle plug which allows water to fill the expendable underwater vehicle after the vehicle is expended and drops to the bottom of the ocean, and rudders and elevators of increased surface area which improve controllability of the vehicle in the water.
Engin sous-marin sacrifiable destiné à l'entraînement des forces navales au combat anti-sous-marin en mer, y compris en eau peu profonde. L'engin a une longueur comprise approximativement entre trois et cinq pieds et un diamètre d'environ cinq pouces, et comporte différentes améliorations qui rendent possible son utilisation en eau peu profonde et améliorent son fonctionnement quelle que soit la profondeur de l'eau. Ces améliorations sont notamment une capsule d'une seule pièce fixée sur le nez, permettant de lancer l'engin sous-marin sacrifiable depuis un aéronef dans des eaux peu profondes, un bouchon de sabordement qui fait entrer l'eau dans l'engin lorsque l'engin est sacrifié et tombe au fond de l'eau, et enfin des gouvernails et des élévateurs qui améliorent la fiabilité du guidage de l'engin dans l'eau.
