Our first advantage would have been that since we laid the mines, we knew about where they were. But only about.
60 years after the war, and despite massive postwar minesweeping opertions, there are still plenty of areas in the Pacific where the Sailing Directions caution against anchoring or other activites that may disturb the bottom due to the hazard of unswept mines.
Appreciate the reply but still wonder about their logic of no sterilizers? There is a reason but I just don't know what it is.
Thanks Gator Navy. I figured we'd do mine sweeping operations.
