We should be buying this to replace our 1980s vintage MCMs. If it were not for the Brits and Aussies we would not have a mine hunting capability. Plus the Brits are smart enough to not put VSPs at the stern. LT Brad McInnis CDR Mike Kovack PO1 Jay Lefever Maj Marty Hogan MCPO Roger Collins LTC Ivan Raiklin, Esq.

Not well known outside some select circles, Austin Class LPDs were well designed to perform Mine Warfare Missions. I am not talking about bringing MSBs to sweep the Suez Canal like USS Nashville did with MINEDIV-125, but actual Minesweeping using Helos. Yes, flight deck, hangar space and all of the other things mentioned in this article.
I am sure our current LSDs could provide the same capability. Yes, we do need a more modern MSO and even MSB capability. Not all mines are deployed in the ocean.

The forgotten Minesweepers - Minesweeping Boats of Mine Division 125. I worked on many Radars, Radios, and Fishfinders (yes, used to find mines).
