The Absolutely Crazy Way Britain Tried to Kill German Submarines in World War I

Thanks LTC (Join to see) for letting us know about the Lance Bomb explosive spear.
the "explosive spear" or "more accurately, a wooden spear with an explosive charge that would be hurled at a sub like fishermen spearing a fish. The Lance Bomb was a “conical thirty-five to forty-pound steel container fitted to a five-foot wooden shaft,” according to writer Fraser McKee. “Activated by pulling a Mills grenade [hand grenade] pin, which provided ten seconds in which to toss the contraption at the submarine, four of these were fitted in racks on trawlers and drifters. The same device was adopted initially by the United States Navy in 1917 and by the Turks at the Dardanelles to destroy trapped E-Class RN [Royal Navy] submarines, using an impact fuse.”
Kudos to my forefathers in the British isles.

Very interesting read LTC (Join to see)

Sounds a lot like the fixed harpoons that were on the front of Civil War subs.
