What is the history and meaning behind the work "MARK" to designate

military
equipment ? The web site www.designation-systems.net says the Navy

uses
the Mark - Mod nomenclature but doesn't say what the significance or

meaning
of the word "Mark" is. Does anybody know ?


I've only seen one such designation, on a weapon - and it passed
out of our on-base inventory sometime in the late 1970s:
the MK 1 Mod 0 Walleye TV-guided glide bomb, sometimes referred
to as the AGM-62.


And MK-82 & -84.
