be loaded on any aircraft weapons station that has a 14-inch suspension and is authorized to carry the SUU-25F/A dispenser. The SUU-25F/A dispenser has two main advantages over the SUU-44 dispenser. It can dispense one store at a time, thus doubling its operational capability. It also has the capability of ejecting eight size A sonobuoys. The SUU-25F/A has a cylindrically shaped, all-metal body. It has four aluminum tubes that will hold either eight LUU-2B/B aircraft parachute flares or eight size A sonobuoys. The tubes are 5 inches in diameter, clustered together inside an outer skin. There is an aluminum die-cast bulkhead at each end. When empty, the dispenser weighs 260 pounds. When loaded with eight LUU-2B/B flares, it weighs 490 pounds. When loaded with eight size A sonobuoys, it weighs from 435 to 572 pounds. The shipping and flight configuration of the dispenser is shown in figure 10-33. The shipping configura- tion (view A) has shock pan assemblies at either end of the dispenser so it is easier to handle during shipment and storage. A lockwire is attached to the two suspen- sion lugs to prevent them from becoming lost during shipment or storage. Both the lockwire and shock pan assemblies must be removed before the dispenser is used. When the dispenser is configured for flight (view B), a phenolic or metal cover (nose cone) is mounted on the forward flange. Covers are not shipped with the dispenser, they are ordered as separate components. As you read the following section on the SUU-25F/A dispenser, look at figure 10-34 for the location and identification of the components.
