The British Type G Depth Charge was a depth charge used by the Royal Navy.
15,000 had been approved for order by 1 January, 1918, but the only orders placed for these were in June and July of 1916.[1]
By the beginning of 1918, 1,500 had been used. 500 were reportedly expended in the first quarter of 1918, and 1,000 in the second, leaving 3,753 in stock. No further orders were being considered.[2]
