Minehunters
Minehunters are specialized naval vessels designed to detect and neutralize underwater mines. These mines pose significant threats to maritime safety and can be found in various bodies of water. Minehunters use advanced sonar systems and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to locate and identify mines, ensuring safe passage for other ships.
The primary goal of Minehunters is to protect naval and commercial shipping routes. They often operate in conflict zones or areas with a history of naval mines. By clearing these hazards, minehunters play a crucial role in maintaining maritime security and facilitating safe navigation for all vessels.
