That mine must have been built to some very high specs to be floating around for 65+/- years.

Just because it was a WWII mine doesn’t mean it has been there since then, It could have been planted more recently.

The report came as the USS Forrest Sherman called at the port to conduct drills with the Ukrainian navy. I envy those sailors if they got a port call in Sevastopol! I wonder how many of them fell in love with the throngs of smoking hot Ukrainian girls who most certainly came looking for American husbands to show them a good time! I'll bet they had fun!
Uh... And it's a good thing that mine didn't blow up... At least EOD had something to do besides training exercises.

Coincidence, or does the navy have some really cool mine detection equipment? 500 yards!
