Almost all vessels sunk either during war or peace are listed as sunk and the location (general....very loose as to the actual location). This was to be done for various reasons, such as possible creation of a sailing danger, if sunk in shallows or if they drifted into a shallow before sinking, then at least there would be some info on a potential risk. Yet I think the major reason for reporting the lose of a ship was for business reasons, or more accurately for monetary reason, I.E. insurance pay off. If the ship is not listed as sunk then the insurance companies aren't going to pay the holder of the insurance policy (usually the operator and/or builder of the ship). Money make the world go round....money talks..........CASH SHOUTS!!! Take lit light all --KB

Free floating mines are visible, so riflemen on board ships poke holes in the floatation chamber, causing them to sink. Occasionally, a lucky bullet detonates the mine, but that is not the goal. Anchored mines have their cables and chains cut by paravanes, making them bob up to the surface, where the riflemen can shoot them. Influence mines have to be detected and forced to detonate. Modern mines are supposed to have dissolving plugs that inert the mine after being immersed for a set time.

With some modern mines they can be set to deactivate themselves after a set amount of time, I think I've also heard of ones which can be remotely activated/deactivated. For most though they would need to be manually recovered and often they can't be since they're dropped fairly randomly in a designated area.

@@richardbell7678 They don't do it that way anymore. The only thing that does is send a live mine to move around freely on the bottom to eventually washup on some shore. Now we do active mine hunting and get pinpoint locations on them and send an EOD team down to neutralize it. They'll do minesweeping to ensure commercial shipping lanes are clear, but what they do when they get a hit is stop that operation and start commencing mine hunting operations. I served on the USS Enhance (MSO-437) in the Persian Gulf during Desert Shield in the late 1980's. I was an Operations Specialist and actively involved in it.

The statement at 5:10 that a large ship passing over a pressure mine would increase the water pressure activating the firing circuit is incorrect. While it may seem counter intuitive, the opposite is true. A moving ship will cause a pressure DROP in coastal or shallow waters beneath the vessel. Water pressure at a given depth is directly related to that specific depth of water. The water pressure at any given point is directly related to the distance from the mine to the above surface of water. A large ship passing over the pressure mine will displace tons of water, in effect decreasing the distance between mine and the surface-resulting in a decrease in pressure of the water column- this pressure drop caused by the displacement of water above the mine due to the passing ship is detected by sensors-this pressure DROP or pressure differential between steady state or normal ambient pressure triggers a switch-closing the firing circuit connected to an internal Battery or charged capacitor bank. Initially time delay clocks or relays delay arming of the mine-hours or days until the device is positioned to its assigned depth and the ambient pressure for that particular mine registered as it’s set point.

pressure drop only occurs as the hull passes. an only in very shallow water. before that there is a bow wave which is at high pressure.
