Re: Anti-submarine warfare

Reviving an old thread, they did have Flieger [or Flugzeug?) Wasser Bomben in various calibres:

Fl.W.B. 150 570 mm long x 450 mm diameter, 150 kg overall/c. 60 kg explosive charge

Fl.W.B. 190 570 x 450 mm, 190 kg overall (as above but with c. 125 kg charge)

Fl.W.B. 190 m.S. 730 x 450 mm with extension »Schale« (shell or cup?) "due to the dropping equipment", 195 kg overall.

Guidelines for their use had apparently been issued in a document of November 1941.
