- Modern mine warfare is changing, and trials are under way in Bahrain with autonomous systems to adapt how minehunting is done.
RFA Stirling Castle, known as 'the minehunting mother ship,' will host several of these systems, operated by the Royal Navy.
This advancement allows for broader coverage of sea areas while minimising risks to personnel.

Well done, the Royal Navy!
Well Done Royal Navy ! ( I Was in The Gulf in 1966 ! With B.P )
Belgian and Netherlands started already the build of new state of the art minehunters with different drones on a mothership ( M940 Oostende is to be delivered in Ostend this year)
I used to be in the MCM business. The activity needs to be taken more seriously by many navies. Modern mines also include intelligent dormant torpedoes…often laid by subs. Magnetic and contact mines are very low tech…the world has evolved. Mines can be programmed with very specific acoustic signature and when activated, they hit strategic targets, not just any ship. 😮
Officers taking off their name badges but still having them reported 😂😂
still can not beat eyes on from a Higley skilled RN diver
@4:18 "what does it mean for the future of mine hunting" no more traditional minehunter vessels ?
That’s the idea. They’ve dropped almost all of the Sandown class, and the Hunt class will be going early next decade, I think
So have the ships that were damaged the other month been repaired and put back to use ??
Magnetic mines are not new
but the news is briton have no more ships . 2 drunk captains colide their ships. an if they loose 2 sheeps they loose 25%
Yet can't keep an aircraft carrier in working order.
Shame really.
There are many other navy’s that can do this.
There is only 1 navy who can protect our shores from the illegal boats.
I’m sure the people would rather see these being used to protect our shores. Before trying to take care of others.
I hadn't realised those "illegal boats" were laying mines. If they aren't, then, don't "Border Force" boats make more sense for protecting the border?
(NB: "Border Force" = Home Office; Royal Navy = Ministry of Defence.)
