Hi people,
Recently I was reading David K Brown's work on British naval design ( Nelson to Vanguard: Warship Design and Development 1923-45), and here this description about what he referred to as "B bomb" caught my attention.
Unfortunately I could not find much information about it...
The French Edgar Brandt company had a design in 1940 for an eight inch shell, intended for naval guns, with HEAT functionality. My understanding is that it was projected to have, under optimal conditions, penetration of ~ 500mm / 20 inches.
