"A book of value to the student of strategy, for the mine is a potent strategic weapon, and thus this is a book of value to the student of under-water warfare, for it is only by paying attention to both the failures and successes of our predecessors that we can correct their mistakes and further develop the work they have left to us to perfect." - Foreword.

First Edition
Hardcover. Presumed first edition/first printing. xiii, [1], 216 p. Includes: illustrations, diagrams, maps, index. References. The author was a Captain in the Roay Navy and had been awarded the C.B. E The author traces the development of the sea-mine from the XVIth century to the time of publication. He also directs attention to the legal aspect of mine warfare, and to the contributions of the scientists and the engineer. The British minelaying campaings of both the world wars are considered in detail. It contains hitherto unpublished material, including charts of the actuala reas mined by Great Britain in the two wars and is illustrated with over sixty drawings and photographs. The author was Head of Reserach and Development in the Underwater Weapons Department of the Admiralty, was responsible throughout the second war for the planning of all British minelaying operatons, including those carried out by the Royal Air Force, and for advising the American minelaying staffs. From Wikipedia: "Minelaying is the act of deploying explosive mines. Historically this has been carried out by ships, submarines and aircraft. Additionally, since World War I the term minelayer refers specifically to a naval ship used for deploying naval mines. "Mine planting" was the term used for installing controlled mines at predetermined positions in connection with coastal fortifications or harbor approaches that would be detonated by shore control when a ship was fixed as being within the mine's effective range. Before World War I, mine ships were termed mine planters generally. For example, in an address to the U.S. Navy ships of Mine Squadron One at Portland, England Admiral Sims used the term mine layer while the introduction speaks of the men assembled from the mine planters. During and after that war the term "mine planter" became particularly associated with defensive coastal fortifications. The term "minelayer" applied vessels deploying both defensive and offensive mine barrages and large scale sea mining. "Minelayer" lasted well past the last common use of "mine planter" in the late 1940s. An army's special-purpose combat engineering vehicles used to lay landmines are sometimes called "minelayers".The most common use of the term "minelayer" is a naval ship used for deploying sea mines. In the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I, mines laid by the Ottoman Empire's Navy's Nusret sank HMS Irresistible, HMS Ocean, and the French battleship Bouvet in the Dardanelles on 18 March 1915. Russian minelayers were also efficient; sinking the Japanese battleships Hatsuse and Yashima in 1904 during the Russo-Japanese War. In World War II, the British employed the Abdiel class minelayers both as minelayers and as transports to isolated garrisons, such as Malta and Tobruk. Their combination of high speed (up to 40 knots) and carrying capacity was highly valued. The French used the same concept for the Pluton. A naval minelayer can vary considerably in size, from coastal boats of several hundred tonnes in displacement to destroyer-like ships of several thousand tonnes in displacement. Apart from their loads of sea mines, most would also carry other weapons for self-defense. Submarines can also act as minelayers. The first submarine to be designed as such was the Russian submarine Krab. USS Argonaut (SM-1) was also one such minelaying submarine. Although there are no modern submarine minelayers, mines sized to be deployed from a submarine's torpedo tubes, such as the Stonefish allow any submarine to function as a minelayer. In modern times, most navies worldwide no longer possess minelaying vessels; the United States Navy, for example, uses aircraft to lay sea mines instead. Mines themselves have evolved from purely passive to active; for example in the U.S. CAPTOR (enCAPsulated TORpedo) that sits as a mine until detecting a target upon which a torpedo is launched. A few navies still have dedicated minelayers in commission, including those of Turkey, South Korea, Norway, Sweden and Finland, countries with long,
