In World War I, the U-boat threat led to British use of patrol blimps to detect enemy submarines. Before the war ended, Britain had equipped them with depth charges and hydrophones, and experimented with a dipping hydrophone. (This idea would be revived for use aboard helicopters after World War II.) Britain had also outfitted seaplanes with depth charges and hydrophones, finding their engines too noisy to be successful. The trials were stopped at the end of the war and not revived until World War II began.
