Indicator net
Constructed using light steel nets, indicator nets were often anchored at various depths to the sea bed around Allied naval bases during World War II. They were intended to entangle U-boat traffic of the enemy, even though the submarines often managed to disentangle themselves and escape before being blown up by depth charges.
