Re: Anti-submarine warfare

Nick,

Word usage in documents can be tricky. What I call a bomb is called a mine. The first link shows a "mine" with an explosive charge that could take out a submarine. It was designed to reach a certain depth in 90 seconds, and explode. This makes it distinct from air-dropped mines that are designed to sit for long periods.
