Why are the mines planted above the water line?

Limpets are magnetic, stick them anywhere.

Most are below the waterline because they are placed by divers that want concealment.

On a large tanker, below the waterline explosions won’t start much of a fire because the in-rushing sea water would put it out.

These mines were placed directly outboard of the engine’s fuel tanks that use the hull as a tank wall.

Very sophisticated attack.

BTW, what was an Iranian patrol boat doing out in the Gulf of Oman, outside Iranian waters?

Why are the mines planted above the water line? Obviously they attached them to the ship during high tide
