Sea Mine
Description
Sea Mines are designed to combat surface and subsurface naval threats, although their use has declined in proportion to that of traditional blue-water navies. Still, these mines can be found on water-rich worlds protecting offshore objectives from any potential threat, including submerged BattleMechs, using floats and anchors to rest on the water's surface, just below it or along the sea bed. Sea mines mainly come in two varieties, those which explode on contact with a significant mass or command-detonated mines similar to their land-bound cousins, with the Capellan Confederation adapting their Inferno Mines for maritime use in 3055. Most modern sea mines are designed to render themselves inert after a period of time for humanitarian purposes.[1][2]
