Depth Charge Thrower

Mark V depth charge thrower being fired

Photograph of a Thornycroft designed Mark V depth charge thrower being fired on land from an unknown site, possibly Woolston, Southampton. The canister can be seen in the air and the carrier can be seen to still be retained by the thrower unlike the earlier models where the carrier was lost. The Mark V depth charge thrower was put into service in 1944.
