You can release/throw depth charges from both the stern and the bow of the ship.
Left side, at the stern of the ship.
Right side, at the bow of the ship.
The number of available depth charges is shown by the bomb counter, , located near the top of the screen. The bomb counter is reduced every time you drop a depth charge and increased when a depth charge explodes. The number of depth charges varies from level to level. In general there will be more charges for you to drop as the levels becomes harder. The chosen play skill mode also affects the number of depth charges. See Play skill modes�
Use the throw key to throw the depth charges longer away from the ship.
