 Minehunter Project - 17/09/1996 - PRIV - NSW Parliament
The fact that the laying of the third keel is on time and within budget is an indication of the dedication of both the workers and management at ADI and shows the advances in ship design and technology carried out on that site.
When ADI made the decision to be one of the three tenderers for the minehunter project, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Merv Church, the program manager, and Mr Ken Harris, the managing director.
The mould for the first minehunter was prepared and constructed in Italy to give our workers the opportunity to learn the skills.

  HMAS <i>Curlew</i>, from Minesweeper to Minehunter
The principal advantage of minehunting over minesweeping is that minehunters use forward-looking sonar, which enables the vessel to avoid passing over a mine while searching.
The divers used an inflatable boat and a transit mounted to the top of the bridge and were "conned" on to the sonar target by matching the echo of the sonar reflector suspended beneath their dinghy with the echo of the "mine like" contact on the sonar display.
In May and June 1975 the minehunters, HMAS Curlew and HMAS Snipe, using their A/S 193 sonar, together with the minesweeper HMAS Ibis surveyed the approaches to Darwin and the harbour itself, locating trawlers sunk during Cyclone Tracy, and other navigational hazards.

  The Dispatch - Serving the Lexington, NC - News   (Site not responding. Last check: )
A minehunter uses an imaging sonar to detect and classify targets and then sends out divers or remotely operated vehicles to inspect and neutralise the threat, often using small charges that are detonated remotely.
As the minehunter will often be operating in close proximity to mines, it is so designed to reduce its acoustic and magnetic signatures, two common forms of trigger for mines.
Minehunters are generally small, shallow-draught vessels, as they are often called upon to work in enclosed bodies of water such as shipping channels or harbours.
