The USS Swift, a Navy minesweeper, cruises off the coast of Norway in 2004. Minesweepers are used to detect and sweep away underwater mines so that ships can pass safely. Mine craft include minesweepers and mine countermeasure ships. Minesweepers detect and clear, or sweep, explosive underwater mines so that ships can pass safely. They measure 57 m (188 ft) long and carry a crew of 45. Mine countermeasure ships detect and sweep underwater mines and serve as command and control facilities for mine countermeasure operations. Mine countermeasure ships measure 68 m (223 ft) in length and have a crew of 74 (Mine Craft, USS Swift, Navy Minesweeper, Ships Detect and Sweep Away Underwater Mines). |
