  Depth charge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Depth Charge used by U.S. Navy later in World War II The depth charge is the oldest anti-submarine weapon.
Conventional delivery of depth charges had other problems too, most of which were solved by the use of ahead-thrown weapons such as the Hedgehog.
Although the explosions of the standard 600-pound depth charge used in World War II were nerve-wracking to the target, an undamaged U-boat's pressure hull would not rupture unless the charge detonated closer than about five meters.

Last, the shot glass may be dropped into the beer from the surface just before drinking--this technique appears to be a comparatively recent innovation, and is also referred to as a depth charge in some circles.
Upon the shot glass striking the bottom of the mug, the carbonation in the beer begins to fizz violently, requiring the drinker to immediately consume the entire drink, either leaving the shot glass in the mug, or grasping it with the lips when setting down the mug.
The name Depth Charge is also occasionally applied to other concoctions that involve dropping a shot glass into a larger drink, as well as a number of more ordinary mixed drinks.

 3D Showcase, Depth Charge: 2000 Sports Illustrated 3-d Swimsuit Issue Review?
The Depth Charge section really is a great resource for the student of anaglyphs, as it provides pictures that are presented with a range of geometric qualities - serving well the purpose of identifying what makes some anaglyphs work well, and others poorly.
But because the apparent depth of anaglyphs is so limited, it is far more important that careful attention is paid to the stereography of the _main subject_, to assure that within the entire apparent depth range a sufficient fraction of that depth is devoted to the subject.
Depth revealed is only modest because of the pose, which is across the page, not into the page.

 BarMeister.com - Drinking Game - Depth Charge
A person is nominated to provide the first 'depth charge' - this could be a shot of whiskey but it must be in a small shot glass that can be 'floated' in the beer mug.
The person who sinks the depth charge must pull it out of the beer quickly and down it, and purchase the next depth charge.
Also, it is best to nominate when the last game is because the unfortunate person who sinks the charge will have to down the charge and the beer mug contents (fairly rancid after a few games).

At night time, or in any other circumstances when flag "W" might not be recognised with certainty, a destroyer which is about to attack a submarine with depth charges makes the following signal repeatedly with steam whistle or sired:.
