mine sweepers
Naval bomb clearers
Mine sweepers are naval vessels designed to detect and neutralize underwater explosive mines, clearing safe passages for other ships.
The term extends to the crews who operate these vessels and to various mechanical or technological systems that perform similar clearing functions.
In computing and gaming, minesweeper refers to the classic puzzle game where players deduce the locations of hidden mines on a grid.
