b. Cluster Bomb, CBU-25/A, Single Container. Single containers, as represented by the CBU-25/A, are secured ill
the same manner as unitized containers: Stowage, when possible, should be limited to compartments where hull angle is
not significant, although construction of suitable block-stow shoring, as shown in figure 9-72, permits securing of single
containers in any compartment having adequate access. The CBU-25/A is mounted on wooden skills, eliminating floor
stripping requirements. Generally, as for palletized loads, floor stripping need be installed only if the containers rest on
metal surfaces. Figure 9-73 illustrates stowage of single CBU-25/A containers in the square of the hatch. The containers
are block stowed with palletized explosives in a tight and efficient manner. Full use of the compartment is achieved by
segregating the containers from lighter-weight commodities with partition bulkheads. Remaining voids are secured with
standard securing structures fabricated with 4-by 4-inch vertical uprights and kickers. Flooring is not required.
