 == History ==
 The K-gun Mark 9 was a prototype method for a depth charge launcher that was based on testing that began in World War I. The K-gun was an improved version of the Y-gun tested during World War I and adopted after the war ended. The [[Mk.6 mortar depth charge|K-gun Mark 6]] had already replaced the Y-gun as the principal depth charge launcher in 1942. The Mark 6 used a design with an arbor fitted inside the projector to hold the depth charge in place and detached after both were launched as a unit overboard. In 1944, the United States Navy tested a slight upgrade to the K-gun the Mark 9. The most significant change was the inclusion of a built-in arbor and cradle. The cradle and arbor helped reduce weight. Tested on the [[USS Asheville|''USS Asheville'']], the program was canceled on the grounds that the weight reduction was marginal and not enough to justify replacing the existing K-gun Mark 6s.
