Damn the Torpedoes: A Short History of U.s. Naval Mine Countermeasures, 1777-1991
Year: 1991 Language: english Author: Tamara Moser Melia Genre: History Publisher: Naval Historical Center Edition: CONTRIBUTIONS TO NAVAL HISTORY Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 237 Description: This is an authoritative and thorough history of U.S. Navy mine countermeasures. Mine warfare is by definition the strategic and tactical use of sea mines and their countermeasures, including all offensive and defensive mining and protection against mines. Mining and mine countermeasures (MCM) are, however, two distinctly different operations. The primary focus of modern mining operations is to effect sea control, with secondary missions that neutralize or destroy enemy ships by interdicting enemy sea lines of communication, submarine operating areas, and home ports. Offensively, mines attack enemy ships in transit or bottle them up in their own waters; defensively, mines guard national and international waters against enemy intrusion.
