The Fairlie Mortar was an unsuccessful British anti-submarine mortar design of early World War II. It projected multiple small anti-submarine bombs simultaneously, 10 from each side of the ship's forecastle, each containing 20 pounds of explosive, but "Hedgehog" projecting 24 small bombs from a single platform eventually became the predominant British weapon in the war.
