lol yes they are evil. I recall a great career in OM, made it from 1939 to October 1944...attacked a convoy. Two US DE stayed behind hunting. Boat was a wreck from DC but no hits from hedgehog. 17 hours under water, surfaced at night, as got underway....aircraft spotted, forced a dive. Well here comes the DE's again joined by two more. Evaded them about 45 minutes but could not shake them. Finally a JCB Class DE came in with hedgehogs and got a hit, hull damage, flooding, then a second one came in, boom, another hedgehog hit, hull collapsed game over. Honestly, prob should have been over after first hedgehog hit. Know of any boats that survived a hedgehog hit?
Japanese never deployed ahead throwing ASW mortars (hedgehog) but were developing them, so on a very limited basis in TMO they now appear in 1945...provide a nasty surprise.
