HISTORICAL DATA
Depth charge thrower Mark II, 1939 was the usual thrower on 'Flowers' for most of the war, the basic design of the Mark II dated from 1917, weighed about 10cwt including the carrier and could throw a standard Mark VII depth charge 40 yards. Its main drawback was a separate carrier which required space for stowage and was expended when a oc·was fired. The improved Mark IV thrower was not introduced into 'Flowers' until late in the war.
