Eight TERRIER MARK 12 MOD O boosters with concrete slugs were fired aboard the Italian Naval Ship Andrea DORIA to investigate the adequacy of the protection for the TERRIER launching system personnel against blast effects and to determine the effects of the booster exhaust on the ship's structure. During the test series, measurements of toxic gas leakage into personnel areas, sound pressure levels, air temperatures, and exhaust stream pressures were obtained. The results indicated to major structural deficiencies. There was some gas and smoke leakage into personnel areas adjacent to the launcher; exposure of equipment and ordnance to high temperatures and superficial structural damage. (Author)
