Name
countermined
Attribute
MSC Swept Mine Condition
Definition
Disposed of by countermining, consisting of the placement of a mine disposal charge close enough to the mine so that sympathetic detonation occurs.
Description
In some cases when a mine is destroyed (countermined) by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) it may not be known with a degree of certainty whether the mine was actually detonated by the disposal charge. In such cases the minehunter will determine the condition of the mine, using the minehunting sonar, and if required the ROV, taking action to ensure that the mine is effectively countermined. Moored mine sinkers normally remain in place after the mine has been destroyed. However, in some instances the sinkers may be removed and/or taken away. May be designated in communications as 'CMINED' followed by DTG (verified time), for example: 'CMINED 11726Z3'.
