USS Atherton DE 169 Depth Charge

USS MOBERLY PF-63

First Hedge Hog Pattern Fired

"This photo was taken on the first run on the German sub U-853 on the evening of May 5, 1945. Most of the time hedge hogs do not go off or explode. This time one did explode. I guess who ever took the picture failed to get that one."
