What is the danger close distance for Naval 16-inch ICM?

• A. 1000 meters
• B. 2000 meters
• C. 3000 meters
• D. 4000 meters

Answer: (B)

Danger close is the distance within which friendly forces could be at risk from the weapon’s blast, fragmentation, and shock. For a naval 16-inch ICM round, that boundary is two thousand meters. Within this radius, the effects of the round are significant enough that fires must be carefully coordinated and, if possible, avoided or adjusted to protect troops. The other distances don’t represent the standard danger-close boundary for this munition—they’re either inside the radius but not the defined limit, or outside where the risk is reduced.
