The United States conducted the test Dominic Swordfish of the RUR-5 ASROC nuclear depth bomb off San Diego in 1962. Due to the use of a nuclear warhead of much greater explosive power than that of the conventional depth charge, the nuclear depth bomb considerably increases the likelihood (to the point of near certainty) of the destruction of ...
The low kiloton [a] W55 nuclear depth bomb dropped into the water and sank rapidly to detonate near its target. A direct hit was not necessary. A direct hit was not necessary. The W55 was 13 inches (33 cm) in diameter, 39.4 inches (100 cm) long, and weighed 465 lb (211 kg).
It is an aluminized (powdered aluminum) explosive having the same order of sensitivity as Composition B. [1]Tests indicate that it is about 98% to 100% as powerful as Torpex, that it is definitely less sensitive than Torpex in both laboratory impact and bullet impact, that it is slightly more sensitive in these respects than TNT, and that it is about the same order as Composition B.

The Mk 101 Lulu was a US nuclear depth bomb operational from 1958 to 1972. A depth charge fitted with a nuclear warhead is also known as a "nuclear depth bomb". These were designed to be dropped from a patrol plane or deployed by an anti-submarine missile from a surface ship, or another submarine, located a safe distance away.
Mometasone, also known as mometasone furoate, is a steroid (specifically, a glucocorticoid) medication used to treat certain skin conditions, hay fever, and asthma. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] [ 12 ] Specifically it is used to prevent rather than treat asthma attacks. [ 10 ]
The Mk-101 "Lulu" started to be replaced by the multipurpose B57 nuclear bomb during the mid-1960s. The B-57 was a bomb that could be used by tactical aircraft against land targets, as well as a nuclear depth charge. [1] The Mk-101 "Lulu" had a length of 7 ft 6 in (2.29 m), diameter of 1 ft 6 in (46 cm), and weighed 1,200 lb (540 kg).
Mod 0 was 5 kt, Mod 1 and Mod 2 were 10 kt, Mod 3 and Mod 4 were 15 kt, and Mod 5 was 20 kt. The depth bomb version of the B57, for the U.S. Navy, replaced the Mk 101 Lulu and had selectable yield up to 10 kt. The B57 used the Tsetse primary design for its core design, shared with several other mid- and late-1950s designs.
2-Furoyl chloride is an acyl chloride of furan.It takes the form of a corrosive liquid, which is more irritating to the eyes than benzoyl chloride. [1] 2-Furoyl chloride is a useful pharmaceutical intermediate and is used in the synthesis of mometasone furoate, an antiinflammatory prodrug used in the treatment of skin disorders, hay fever and asthma.
