On Fluckey's last patrol, He had all kinds of stuff. Rocekts, MK27s and MK28s.
He also had Pillenwurfer bubblers/gassers and swim out beacons. He got caught in a tight spot and used them all at the same time to get away from 3 escorts in shallow water. The swim out beacons simulated sub noises.
The decoys made so much noise that they blanked out the sonar.
The story is on page 340 and 341 of Thunder Below.
