i want to include us naval mine models in my my games ,i don't want to use paper markers etc but real models,
i have used some spare mk 82/84 /84 as destructors on a seabed model
what i want is mk60 captors
questions, cartoons/illustrations on net (may not be captor) show it deployed in vertical position ,so is it anchored to the seabed with air in the canister keeping it vertical ,or should it drop horizontal on seabed?
the air dropped version shown on wiki has a tail which i assume drops off on impact with water? also is that the color of the live version (wiki) or what should it be? |

I *think* the one in the pic on wiki is live:
Exercise weapons would be light blue (or have a light blue section in the case of exercise torpedoes) |
