The Japanese submarine fleet never had much chance of success. By mid 1943 the allies had anti-submarine warfare down to a science. The hard lessons learned during the Battle of the Atlantic against the very capable German u-boats of the kriegsmarine. The weapons and detection gear was so highly developed it was relatively easy to find, fix, and destroy any submarine threat

The hedgehog didn't "destroy the Japanese Navy in WW2" -- indeed, the headline writer is both historically and militarily ignorant. The hedgehog was a better weapon than depth charges, but it was strictly an anti-submarine device. It had literally nothing to do with the destruction of the Japanese carrier fleet at Midway (and the loss of many of its experienced pilots), or the eventual later sinking of Japanese battleships.

What an extremely poor programme. Agree with every comment. Gave up after many mispronunciations and reference to the US hedgehog. Recollect reading sixty plus years ago of the development of this weapon. Initially the bombs would skid on contact withe the surface of the sea until the pointed nose was changed to a flat nose. Then the fuse would detonate the bomb with the hard contact with sea. Next solution was to fit a screw in the nose which would arm the fuse as passed through the water. All done prior to December 1941.
