DEGAUSSING BARGE
A non self-propelled vessel used within a dockyard to facilitate 'wiping', the passage of a heavy electrical current across a ferrous hull to negate the magnetism induced into the hull during building, and so provide short-term protection against magnetic mines. Such a vessel is essentially a floating electrical battery, and may also to be used to provide an external (shore) power supply to vessels in refit.
