With the beginning of the 20th century, the defence against sea mines gained central importance for the naval powers. This responsible and dangerous task was and still is solved by well-trained crews with their minesweepers and mine-clearers, the blocking boats and also the minesweepers from the air. This unique book is devoted not only to the ships needed to combat sea mines but also to those who were primarily responsible for laying mine barriers: the minelayers.
The author Knut Schäfer gives the reader a comprehensive overview of all mine-sweeping, -searching and -laying forces.
