MK-2(G) Acoustic Minesweeping System      The MK-2(G) [pronounced Mark 2 Golf] Acoustic Minesweeping System, also called "rattle bars", is a device consisting of fixed and swinging plates and pipes that interact to create a sound field capable of actuating acoustic mines.   The device must be streamed from a ship and transferred to the helicopter.   After the minesweeping mission is complete the helicopter must subsequently transfer it back to the ship for recovery.
