Early war Allied depth charges were good to about 300 feet. By the end of the war the Mark X** could be set for as deep as 1500 feet.

Japanese depth charges could be set for 25 or 50 metres - nothing in between. Later models could be set for 30, 60 or 90 metres, and nothing in between.

Airborne depth charges seem to have always been set for 25 feet (roughly 8 metres).
