Vol. 20 No. 4, April 2024
In my effort to find photos I missed earlier, I came across a nice one showing the depth charge racks.
While a U.S. submarine chaser in WWI was armed with a deck gun and machine guns, the purpose of the vessels was to deliver depth charges. A Y-gun amidships was used to launch a pair of charges over the side, while in the rear racks held charges that could be rolled off the stern.
