Animated map shows the locations of mines. Mines can be laid in river, harbor, channels and coastal water. Animated diagram show 'moored' and 'bottom' types of mines. Contact mines and influence mines are explained. The influence mines can explode by magnetic, acoustic and pressure influence. The Ocean Minesweepers are called as MSO, the Coastal Minesweepers are called as MCS, the Shallow Minesweepers are called MSL and Harbor Minesweepers are called as MSB.

These ships are equipped for detecting, destroying, removing or neutralizing explosive marine mines. A ship underway at a sea. A gas turbine engine of the Minesweeper ship in view. Haul of the ship is made of wood. Minimum magnetic machinery used in the Minesweeper ship. A man at controls of MSL. The crew on the ship consists of 4-6 men. The MSL is lowered from the mother ship. The mines are swept. Animated diagram shows the minesweepers operation. MSL equipment for moored mines is mechanical sweeping gear. Explosive cutters, bridle and hand operated winches in view. The sweep wires are rolled on drums. A towed body is used to maintain the sweep at desired position. A man operates the controls. An animated diagram shows the mechanism of sweeping. acoustic mine gear, device and support float in view. Men work on the MSL.
Characteristics and capabilities of Shallow Minesweepers (MSL) ships. These ships are equipped for detecting, destroying, removing or neutralizing explosive marine mines. A ship underway at a sea. Men work on the MSL. Magnetic and acoustic mines sweep gear. Sufficient cable for sweeping is stored on the LSM (Landing Ship Mechanized). Floats are used with cable. Gasoline engine at the back of the Minesweepers. Float and cable is launched. Crew members on the MSL. The cable is connected to the generator. The LCM (Landing Craft Mechanized ) releases the cable. MSL proceeds in the area to be swept. Magnetic cable is towed behind the minesweeper. The cables are passed to the LCM. The gear can be mounted on the mother ship. The cable is passed when minesweeper operations are conducted.
