Walker's true depth-charge load is uncertain

Did HMS Walker carry as many as 120 depth charges?

The records establish that Walker carried more than her official allowance, but they do not support a firm total or prove that charges were stored in crew spaces.

Walker was known for carrying more depth charges than her official allowance. Jokes about the load do not establish a firm total, and it is unknown whether additional charges occupied crew spaces. Wartime deliveries and maintained stockpiles help explain how escorts could obtain more weapons. The official allowance and the fact of overloading can therefore be distinguished from the unknown number actually carried.
