In modern naval warfare, offensive and defensive mine operations and the ships that perform them often take a back seat to the more glamorous carrier strike groups, strategic deterrence patrols and anti-submarine operations. Despite their relatively small size and numbers, minecraft have enormous strategic and tactical value. With more than 200 photos, this book details the histories and specifications of more than 2,200 vessels that have served as minelayers and minesweepers, from World War I to today. Rare examples include the U.S. Navy''s only purpose-built mine-laying submarine, and the remarkable 36-foot "mini minesweeper."

More than 200 photos add to the value of this book in giving the reader information not easily found elsewhere."-Seapower Magazine
