[edit] Notable Features

Navy Minesweepers carry a devastating array offensive weaponry. Their sole mission, however, is Q-mine defense. Each ship mounts a large, rotating sensor array used to detect and disarm any Q-mine within range. While not 100% reliable in operation, they provide the best security currently available against the insidious Q-mine threat.
