The hedgehog was fired from the bow of a destroyer. It was effectively a forward firing mortar and allowed the destroyer to maintain ASDIC contact with the U-boat when firing the weapon thus making it more accurate than the depth charge. I believe it was introduced around 1942/43. So what you are seeing is not the hedgehog.
