Magnetic minesweepers are specialized naval vessels designed to detect and neutralize underwater mines. These mines are often triggered by the magnetic field of a ship, making it crucial for minesweepers to locate and safely remove them to ensure safe passage for other vessels. These ships use various techniques, including towing magnetic sensors and employing underwater drones, to identify and disarm mines. By clearing waterways of these hazards, magnetic minesweepers play a vital role in maritime safety and security, especially in areas affected by conflict or naval warfare, where mines may pose significant risks to shipping routes.
