Which component is protected by the Eyebolt Lifting Plug?

• A. Fuze Well
• B. Eyebolt Lifting Plug
• C. Obturating band
• D. Rotating band

Answer: (A)

The Eyebolt Lifting Plug is used to protect the fuze well. The fuze well is the space in the nose of a projectile where the fuze sits, and it must stay clean and undamaged during handling. The plug provides a secure lifting point and seals the fuze well so dirt, moisture, or physical impact won’t affect the fuze area while the round is being hoisted. This protection helps ensure the fuze remains reliable when it’s time to install or arm it. The other parts mentioned are components of the shell itself (like the obturating band and rotating band) and are not what the Eyebolt Lifting Plug protects.
