The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Antisubmarine Platforms


In the last post, I mentioned that B-17s were used as antisubmarine platforms as well as bombers.

I looked up anti submarine platforms and Wikipedia, under Antisubmarine Warfare listed antisubmarine platforms as being both air, sea and underwater.  And it was the use of mines and torpedoes.

So, a B-17 encountering an enemy submarine would drop torpedoes or mines on it.

That is an antisubmarine platforms.
