I tried googling it, it never showed up.
Wrong spelling, it is "Chobham".
…and no it is not usual to find depleted uranium in Chobham armor, but it is found in some special variants of Chobham. It is typically a laminate of specially formulated ceramics and metal, usually titanium alloys, and sometimes heavy metal which can include depleted uranium.
Wikipedia gives as good an explanation as you will find outside of classified documents.
