This controlled mine for harbor defense is typically laid in groups of 13. Mk 51 is a vertical cylinder (62 x 37 in), carrying 3275 lb of TNT (total weight is 6200 lb). Mk 51 resembles Mk 18, but Mk 51 is substantially larger. This weapon was probably exported after World War II. Mk 51 Mod 0 was designed to counter conventional submarines, and it was modified postwar (to Mod 1) to counter midgets down to a 30-ton displacement. Mod 1 uses Acoustic System Mk 6, a line of hydrophones. The mine itself has a magnetic induction sensor. The operator ashore, who can monitor 10 hydrophone channels (13 mines/ group), has access to both the acoustic and magnetic sensor outputs. The operator times mine firing based in part on a judgment of the size of target. Target size is indicated in part by the number of mines responding to the target.
