Awaji Minesweeper
Awaji Minesweeper

Minesweepers might be the most “boring” Warships that ever exist, right? Most of them are virtually unarmed and can barely perform patrol missions due to their slow speed. However, they are actually crucial warships that can protect larger, more valuable ships of a Navy.

The anti-ship mine is an extremely effective weapon, relatively cheap and therefore affordable to small nations; they are also deadly if placed on confined or coastal waters. Since Japan is an archipelago, most of their commercial trade travel by boat and since it´s surrounded by hostile Nations (North Korea, China and the Soviet Union /Russia), they need to keep those shipping lines open.

It´s often said that the American mining campaign at the end of World War Two against Japan could have reduced the war in one or two years if it was started earlier. Japan really learned this the hard way and during the Cold War, they made a series of capable minesweepers of which, the Awaji Class is today´s most recent and capable.
