Y36.0: War operations involving explosion of marine weapons
War operations involving the explosion of marine weapons refers to injuries and health conditions directly attributable to incidents during military activities in which underwater explosives detonate. The resulting shock waves, shrapnel, and environmental changes can cause a wide array of injuries. One may experience immediate and severe physical trauma from the explosion's force, including injuries to the ears, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, fragments from the detonated weapon or surrounding environment can lead to puncture wounds, lacerations, or severe bruising. Extended underwater exposure following such an event may also give rise to hypothermia, drowning incidents, or decompression sickness. Psychological stress disorders, such as PTSD, may also develop over time due to the emotional impact of the traumatic event.
