properly define anchor reliability and performance in 

 the wide range of conditions that could be 

 encountered in the deep ocean. Therefore, additional 

 testing of the anchor and work to improve anchor 

 reliability and flexibility of operation are justified. 



ACKNOWLEDGIVIENTS 



Al Horst of the Gun Systems Engineering Branch, 

 Naval Ordnance Station, designed and tested the 

 ordnance system for the 20K anchor. Dave Ramsted 

 and Tom Waugh, Naval Underwater Systems Center, 

 designed the safe-and-arming devices. Particular 

 appreciation is extended to Phillip Babineau, CEL 

 Engineering Technician, who assisted in all phases of 

 test and evaluation and whose many innovations have 

 made the anchor simpler and safer to operate and 

 handle.
