...on the other hand... Infantry siege weapons as anti-submarine equipment. What?

Look, I get it, not all the gear makes sense at times... but this one ranks near the top of the 'WTF' factor. Those 12cm mortars were used as ASW weapons on some ships, not that it was very effective... ...yeah, I did some looking and there were ASW mortars, but they were designed with that specific purpose in mind and the concept was later used to develop the Hedgehog.

But the British (who were the first ones to start doing this) found their efectivness...limited.
