The amount of information in this shot 7-minute video. man, you did a lot of work on it. Thank you very much. I love it

[exudeku]

Neat! Thanks to you, I now know how to use them for *home protection here in the beaches of Southeast Asia!*

[patrickazzarella]

Its sad that just like land mines, while rarer these lingering relics can still kill and harm people

[JarOfDirt.]

My dad was in the Dutch navy and they had a ww2 era sea mine outside their barracks, years later they discovered it was still live

[guy]

absolutely amazing again, like this even better than your fake tanks.

[codyhoward]

Learned a lot from these videos! Thanks for making them

[Simon_Nonymous]

A limpet is a snail - fascinating fact! Question - did anyone else apart from Cone think that magnetic mines stuck to metal ships?

[guitarlover]

Very effective weapon, not only for the damage caused, but for the denial of space too.

[samwill]

You ever drive over a speedbump too fast and have that moment of quiet "oh shit" where you hope it didn't jar anything loose?

Imagine being at the wheel if the speedbump blew up.

[FreedomFighterEx]

With this potential in "mine".
Cone, that was a cheeky one. Nice!

[thefez-cat]

Would love to see a Sails & Salvos on minesweepers now.

[mechanicalbird]

Great video, I wonder, the submarine le rubis during the second world war killed a lot of ship using mines, and we know precisely how many, but how did they know when they destroy a ship with their mines ? And how did they know the ship was destroyed by their mines ?

[thomasconrad]

Now make one on the submarines of the american civil war!

[callejansson]

Sir, take a look at Minsystem 9, and Rockan from Bofors. Some of the systems we use in Sweden. When I served in the Coastal Artillery, we had minestations (protected and hidden controlcentrals) in ALL our harbors and importent seaways between some islands. They were in place even in peacetime! 2Lt Jansson (Ret.)

Every time I hear about limpet mines, I recall the Don Knotts movie, "The Incredible Mr. Limpet".

[bocefusmurica]

How the heck to all of the mines get cleared? The free floating ones especially? The ocean is so vast.

[marcsuela]

British:I need jackhammers

Supplier:For what?

British:For minesweeping operation.

[PopeOfTheBullpuptistChurch]

You thought your puns were bad? Wait till you sea mine

[patrickmorris]

Learn and adapted to kill more efficiently than ever

[ElijahSalyer-rl]

I know during the civil war some submarines had a way where you put on a water proof suit fixed to the submarine and you could lay mines for enemy ships to hit
