HMS Eagle - Aircraft ordnance

Post by Dili »

Just found this. I think it is interesting data since AE will have a limit to Torpedos in Aircraft Carriers:

Data from 1939 except when differently noted.

18in MKXII Torpedos: 27 (31 in 1941)
500lb SAP bombs: 48
250lb SAP bombs:250
250lb "B" (buoyant bombs):92 <-- Dont know what is it.
100lb Anti-submarine bombs: 130
20lb Anti-personnel bombs: 360(aprox)
380lb MKVII Depth charge: 54(1940)
24lb A MKI/IV Mines 24(1942) <--Real weight?

Edit:i should have said that it operated with 18 Fairey Swordfish and 3 SeaGladiators(since 1940)


I also read recently that USS Ranger could not store torpedos in its amno storage, apparently due to size of it. They need to be put in hangar or other places.
