DEACTIVATED INERT. British, 1965 Dated, Seacat Naval Anti Aircraft Missile Proximity Fuze. - O 2246
DEACTIVATED INERT. Seacat was a British short-range surface-to-air missile system designed by Short Brothers of Belfast from the Malkara anti tank missile and was intended to replace the Bofors 40/L60 gun aboard warships of all sizes. It was the world’s first operational shipboard point defence missile system. The missile was designed so that the Bofors guns could be replaced with minimum modification to vessel, using existing fire control systems. Seacat traces its history ultimately to the Short Brothers of Belfast SX-A5 experiments to convert the Malkara anti-tank missile to radio control as a short range surface-to-air missile. This led to further modifications as the Green Light prototype and finally emerged as Seacat. As it was based on an anti-tank weapon, the Seacat was small and flew at relatively slow subsonic speeds. It was thought to be useful against first and second generation 1950s jet aircraft of Hawker Sea Hawk performance, that were proving to be too difficult for the WW2 era Bofors 40/L60 guns to successfully intercept. The missiles development started in 1958 and was first fitted to a Royal Navy ship in 1961, it being the first anti aircraft missile in use by the Royal Navy. The missile was fitted with a proximity fuze and this is one of the proximity fuzes fitted to the missile. Seacat was mounted on a powered four-round launcher which was smaller than the Mark 5 Twin Bofors and STAAG type mountings it replaced. It was also lighter, easier to maintain, and very easy to use. The fuze is mounted on a round plinth and measures 7 ½ inch square with rounded corners and 8 inches high, tapering to the top forming a rounded dome with a perspex shield for the proximity fuze. The white painted fuze is stencilled on the side FUZE G.M.E.K 11A1 SER No 1476R J.S.No 1336-99-1041-5983 G.C.L. NOV. /65. The price includes UK delivery and licence is required to possess this fuze in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. O 2246
