Erich Gröner's Type 1936 armament table omits depth charges, although drawings in the same book show the fittings. Michael Whitley's work and other designs and pictures support a depth-charge fit comparable to that of the Type 1934s and Type 1936As. The drawings and cross-checks support a firm judgment that the Type 1936s carried depth charges, with the omission treated as an error in the table. The unresolved issue is how their allowance compared with that of the Type 1934s. A reference can remain authoritative and useful while particular entries require correction against other evidence.

Reading a Type 1936 armament-source conflict
A missing entry in Gröner's armament table conflicts with drawings and Whitley's work, while uncertainty remains over the depth-charge allowance.
