Where would they get the resources? What about the NATO warships that were holding exercsies near the pipeline?
To my knowledge, being a former frogman but not EOD, after locating a mine on the sea floor, they are blown up.
Not sure if these Kingfish UUVs take along an attached demo charge to leave on the mine, but that’s my educated guess.
Or, for a “very high value target” (like a pipeline) the Mark 18 could be packed with demo and parked next to the pipeline.
Most units like these are modular, so it’s not a big deal to add a meter or so containing an explosive stage in the middle.
If the POTUS ordered the USN to blow up the NS1 & 2, IMHO, this is how it could have been done.
If this happened, quite a few USN personnel know about it. I’d love to read their NDAs. They will probably all be transferred to separate “Ice Station Zebras” where they will not be available for testimony.
