Re: How do mines work
I'd like a Degaussing option.

One is degaussing, a technique applied to nearly all warships in WW2. In this, the hull of the ship is "wiped" with a high-tension cable that reverses the magnetic field in the hull. This doesn't make the ship "invisible" it flips the mine fuze the wrong way. The effect of a degaussing fades quite quickly so the process has to be repeated regularly. Later many ships had a degaussing cable fitted permanently to them.
