A question about the Mark 60 CAPTOR mine becomes a general warning about planning from technical specifications alone. A weapon can be in service and still exist in too few examples for a long campaign. Combat repeatedly consumes the best munitions faster than peacetime establishments expect. The decisive follow-on questions are therefore how many rounds are on hand, how quickly they are used, and whether production can expand before the stockpile is exhausted.

Advanced wartime munitions are never stocked deeply enough
A capable weapon such as the Mark 60 CAPTOR mine matters only in the numbers already available and the speed at which industry can replace combat expenditure.
