The degaussing process is designed to erase the tape magnetically back to a virgin state. |
|
The most effective counter-measure was degaussing which obliterated the magnetic field of a steel hull. |
|
The ship's degaussing is made up of 25 coils for the ship's structure as a whole and local coils for specific items of equipment. |
|
The size arrangement and location of the degaussing coils are based on finite element modelling of the ship structure and major equipment fits. |
|
On top of that, most degaussers use external power supplies and must power down between each degaussing, slowing up the destruction process. |
|
I was degaussing it by moving it through a static magnetic field. |
|
There was also a degaussing station attached to the establishment, and after the war until 1962 it was used as a Sea Cadet training centre and an Admiralty store. |
|
He was then employed in a 'reserved' war job, degaussing ships against magnetic mines. |
|
The magnetic signatures were measured with degaussing coils. |
|
Mk I fitted with degaussing coils to trigger magnetic mines. |
