    I don't really know, but I reckon it's supposed to be a depth charge
    rack. Probably built from bits and pieces scavenged from other
    constructions so not really 100% fidelity. Perhaps based on a blurry
    picture. A game of visual telephone as it were.
    
    USN Mk9 depth charges maybe? Teardrop shape, some exposed bronze...
