Depth Charges

In the Italian Navy depth charges were called B.T.G.(=Bombe Torpedini de Getto): there were three main types.

BTG Monc. 50/1917
BTG Monc. 100/1927 4 Reg.
BTG Monc. 50/1927 4 Reg.

All built by Moncenisio Workshops with 50 kg. (from 1917) or 100 kg (after 1927) explosive charge. 4 Reg. means 4 Regolazioni viz. the facility to adjust the depth of the explosiion at 25, 50, 75 or 100 metres.

I know the name might throw people off but the author is very respected in this field of study.
