Sweeping Mines

Interviewer: Do you know how your ship actually did the job of taking the mines out?

Oh, yes, they have a, a Paravan it's called, they put it out in front and it catches cables, and then they go down, they go down the cable and a knife at the end of the cable cuts the wi-, the wire. Then they come to the surface, and then you have to detonate them. We have sharp shooters on the bridge and that, and you had to just detonate them with rifle fire, machine gun fire, so. That's the way they were set off, so.
