Spring 1944
Japanese ASW improved

The Imperial Japanese Navy has improved the design of the depth charges, operating at increased depths and with a heavier payload.

However this advance has been to some degree offset by improvements to US torpedo design and manufacture. The US now fields certain types derived from captured German torpedoes.
