	Minesweeper (ship) - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Hameln Class Minesweeper of the German Navy, on patrol.
		Alternately, minesweepers are equipped with powerful electromagnetic degaussing fields to neutralise their magnetic field and/or jammers.
		A minesweeper is generally designed to clear an area of a large number of relatively simple mines - for example towing a wire sweep to cut loose floating contact mines or a floating cable energised with powerful electric current pulses to detonate magnetic mines.

		Minesweeping has not been given high priority during past decades and little effort has been made in the development of new technology within the area.
		Minesweeping has lived in the shadows of minehunting that by contrast has attracted a good deal of interest and has demonstrated great technical advances.

		The prototype for a 173-ton minesweeper based on a fishing boat design was to have been completed at Korcula in May 1997, but year's end had brought no news even of its launching, while work on a planned third 880-ton Silba-class minelayer/landing ship at Split has not yet begun.
		Both classes would be capable of carrying two helicopters and up to seven weapon or sensor modules, and all six would be rapidly adaptable as minelayers.
		The other new class, whose design was derived from lessons in signature reduction learned in the construction and operation of the trials craft Smyge (now employed as a public relations and recruiting platform), has been a quartet of 200-ton inshore mine countermeasures craft.

	Cardinal Class (MSH) Minesweeper/Hunter
		The planned minesweeper hunter (MSH) class was a failure, and the program was halted by the Navy on 25 August 1986.
		This class is designed to supplement the "Avenger" class and together with it will form the U.S. Mine Warfare Force of the future.
		The MSH is a new class of minesweeper using an air cushion to reduce the contact of the hull with the water surface, thus making it less susceptible to underwater shock from mine explosions.

		Finnish industry is represented in the minesweeping field by Elesco and Finnyards.
		Weighing 1.95 tonnes, with a tow-speed up to 12kt, the GKT-2 can be used as a standalone device against moored mines, or in combination with a sound generator (in which case its cutters and cartridges are supplemented by corner reflectors) against acoustic mines.

	Chapter Eight
		While it concluded that many classes cannot be taught comparably on line at all, the December 1999 report, "Teaching at an Internet Distance: the Pedagogy of Online Teaching and Learning," had both good news and bad news for promoters of distance learning.
		The bad news was that such classes are difficult and expensive to teach: Because high quality online teaching is time and labor intensive, it is not likely to be the income source envisioned by some administrators.
		We are reassured that students have been transformed into "active learners"; that they are eagerly constructing their own classes; that they are taking control of their own educations; that they are learning as never before, seated in front of their "learning consoles" jerking with multiple epiphanies.

		That navy list is somewhat incorrect in at least one crucial field - there have been four Kirov/Ushakov class cruisers built, of those two are active and one is awaiting repairs (which I'm sure would be accelerated in the event of a war).
		Furthermore, the "Oscar" class subs have 24 Granits each - and the EU has nothing in the field of long-range, high-speed SAM's you'd need to counter those missiles.
		According to World Navies Today (http://www.hazegray.org/worldnav/) there is only one active Kirov class cruiser the Petr Velikiy.
