Apr. 17 Flower of Submarine Death: Installed on the British destroyer H.M.S. Barrosa is an anti-submarine weapon known as the Squid, which flings its missiles ahead of the ship, outdating the old method of dropping depth charges astern. Latest versions of Squid automatically locate the quarry, set missiles to explode at correct depths and then aim and fire without human aid. Photo shows HMS Barross asile through a flower of boiling foam caused by explosion of her anti-submarine missiles a few seconds earlier during an exercise in the Mediterranean
