Re: Sailors in action

That's interesting! A (somewhat finicky device I imagine) main pressure sensitive spring that is depth related but a failsafe (timed) backup system. Brings the V1 to mind, as I think it had a pressure (impact) sensitive main trigger but also had a back up timer.

Would water temp affect the setting of the depth charge? A depth charge dropped off the Orkney's had to behave differently from one dropped off Cuba.
