Minensucher der U.S. Navy

The United States Navy is today undeniably the largest and most powerful in the world, with its impressive aircraft carriers, state-of-the-art cruisers, and destroyers. Surprisingly, mine warfare ships have been somewhat neglected in recent decades, likely due to their specialized capabilities that are more suited to smaller navies. Wilhelm M. Donko presents in this documentary all mine countermeasure and mine sweeping ships of the U.S. Navy by types and classes, describing all units ever classified as such from the interwar years through World War II to the present day.
