[bush_cheney2004]

Remarkable story of a determined Canadian's contribution to anti-submarine warfare (ASW) during WW2.   This is the story of "hedgehog" mortar development and the tenacity of Charles F. Goodeve, a reserve officer in the Royal Navy.

 

Quote

Spring 1941. A Canadian scientist crashes Winston Churchill's lunch to demonstrate a weapon the British military had rejected three times over 30 years. Within three years, one American destroyer would use it to sink six Japanese submarines in twelve days—a record never matched in naval history. This is the story of Charles Goodeve and the Hedgehog anti-submarine mortar. The weapon that transformed the Battle of the Atlantic from a losing fight into an Allied victory.
