ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An explosive grab adapted to be towed on a towing line has a jaw to receive a mooring line of a submersed mine and an explosive charge which is automatically detonated when the mooring line enters the jaw to sever the mooring line. The grab comprises a body the greater part of which is consis- tituted by a stabilising fin and which has a channel for reception of the tow- ing line, and retaining means on the body to retain the towing line in the channel but which is yieldable to permit insertion of the towing line later- ally into the channel. The grab includes a cutter unit in which the jaw of the grab is provided, the cutter unit comprising a guard for the towing line and a main explosive charge located on opposite sides of the jaw and a detona- tor actuation means which defines the closed end of the jaw. The body and cutter unit are interconnected by means adapted to yield to forces in excess of a predetermined maximum value acting on the cutter unit to allow separation of the cutter unit from the body independent of explosion of the charge.
