  • The battle scenes are well done and one feels they are in the sub when the death charges are hitting the ocean bottom. (wkrc.com, book review, March 2005)
  • I want to build a floating submarine plane. Are there any legal issues around that? I dont want the navy to drop death charges on me when I zip around underwater (doityourself.com forum)
  • There was one time the destroyers were dropping death charges after sighting a German Submarine. (link)
  • I’m not sure but I believe we also dropped a shallow pattern of death charges. (Phil Arneson's Action Report, 18 January 2001)
