Oropesa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- There are towns in Spain named Oropesa and Oropesa del Mar, and also Oropesa, Peru.
An Oropesa is a streamlined towed body used in the process of minesweeping. The role of the Oropesa is to keep the towed sweep at a determined depth and position from the sweeping ship.
The device derives its name from the ship on which it was developed, HMS Oropesa.
