Can any tell me what the extensions represent in this armament configuration:
Armament: 1 3"/50, 2 20mm, 2 depth charge tracks + 2 extensions, 2 depth charge projectors
It comes from a ship description on the HyperWar site.

From OP 904 - Depth Charge Release Tracks and Associated Equipment, Chap 1 Introduction Page 1.
Depth Charge Track Extensions
Depth charge track extensions are structures similar to depth charge tracks, designed to be attached to the forward end of the tracks to increase their stowage capacity. They are assigned mark numbers corresponding to those of the tracks with which they are primarily associated. Some of them, however, may be used with other tracks, either directly or by the application of an adapter.
