Mine Countermeasures Vessels (MCMVs) are specialized naval ships designed to detect, locate, and neutralize underwater mines. These vessels play a crucial role in ensuring safe navigation for military and commercial ships by clearing minefields that can pose significant threats to maritime operations. MCMVs are equipped with advanced sonar systems, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and other technologies to identify and dispose of mines. They often operate in conjunction with naval forces and coastal defense units to maintain maritime security and protect vital shipping routes from potential hazards.
