depth charge clicks
Posted by: kurt ()

US submariners, in the Pacific, often commented that depth charges made a clearly audible clicking sound just before the main explosion - \'click - WHAM\', \'click - WHAM\'

Many different authors have mentioned it. And no one seems to know what it was - though they generally assumed it to be the detonator.

But I haven\'t heard of this in any German accounts of being depth charged.

>Did allied depth charges make this \'clicking\' sound?

>Any ideas what made the clicking sound?
