	Minelayer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A naval minelayer can vary considerably in size, from coastal boats of several hundred tonnes in displacement to destroyer-like ships of several thousand tonnes in displacement.
		Probably the most famous minelayer in history is the Turkish Navy's Nusrat, active during the Gallipoli Campaign of the First World War.
		A few navies still have minelayers in commission; these include South Korea, Norway, Sweden and Finland, countries with long, shallow coastlines where sea mines are most effective.

		You therefore wish to design fairly early on a simple minelayer hull which will be of practical value throughout the remainder of the game, which is a pretty easy task really.
		At this level you should have minelayer 50s and the scout or frigate hull to mount this on (the destroyer and privateer are not practical hulls for a primary duty of minelayer, and I'll not bore you by including them in the analysis).
		Minelayers typically don't have to travel much, so low-tech engines are acceptable (and range can always be boosted short-term with fuel ships which return to be reused).

		The following day, the destroyer minelayer got her first glimpse of the enemy when some of his planes approached the sweep group but did not attack.
		Fortunately, the destroyer minelayer began scoring hits early and managed to splash the attacker when he was still 2,000 yards away.

		Minelayers can often be annoying to defeat, but challenging to do.
		You should usually only engage a minelayer if you are equal or have better maneuverability than the minelayer.
		Minelayers don't need to use much energy, so always think they have a limitless amount.

		Use the minelayer to deploy vast fields of explosives throughout the enemy's mineral patches and travel routes.
		Minelayers can be infinitely reloaded at your supply depot, and you should take care to mine your base surroundings as best you can.

		Then, at 0850, speeding to the aid of the LUCE (DD-522) that had been hit by a suicide plane and was sinking, the WILEY came under heavy air attack.
		As a result of this action, the WILEY was the first ship in the Okinawa area to knock a baka bomb from the air and the first in the fleet to be credited with two such downings.
		The minelayer's gun crews had expended 5,000 rounds of 5-inch and AA ammunition by the time they arrived in the area where the LUCE had sunk two hours earlier.

		Museumships include the Sigyn barque, the full-rigger Suomen Joutsen, the minelayer Keihässalmi, the corvette Karjala, the steam tugboat Vetäjä V, the river ferry Pikkuföri, the ketch Daphne, the coastal patrol boat RV 214 and a pilot cutter.
		An association was formed by private citizens in 1993 to help maintain the boat and restoration work was started the same year with the goal of repairing the boat to be used as a fully functional museumship.
		The boat was then relaunched and was then tied beside the minelayer Keihässalmi on the River Aura.

		The minelayer ability stems from the fact that Relic often made the units as one-shot special items.
		They needed the Minelayer units to have an ability to sweep clear minefields, therefore they have a gun that is able to shoot at munitions, and the munitions attack family.
		And they used the minelayer ability as an indicator that the unit indeed should do this kind of stuff - no problems as it was the only unit that needed this behaviour.

		Steaming on her starboard screw while her port engine was being repaired, the warship left Apra Harbor on 4 May and arrived off Okinawa on the 7th to resume screening and radar picket duties.

		The Hiigaran versions all sport turrets, except for the Minelayers, allowing them to fire in most directions most of the time (including at any pursuers) without having to change direction.
		Fortunately, Minelayers aren't picked off so enthusiastically by enemies as Marine Frigates or Resource Collectors are.
		The Minelayer Corvette is a loner, and apart from the mines it carries has half the weaponry of a single Gunship.This is pretty useless against most threats, the Minelayer Corvette is really a specialised minelayer and minesweeper (hmm, better check that!).

		Like a minelayer, it is only fitted to fire into the ships aft (A) fire arc.
		These buoys can either be pre-laid as part of meteor swarm based 'minefields', or can be deployed from a minelayer ship in conjunction with a Fragmentation Cloud Dispenser (FC).
		If a Gravitic Shepherd Buoy ('Grav Buoy') is deployed at the same time that an FCD is used, then the controlling player may choose to have the debris cloud of the FCD stop dispersing at a pre–set density (and diameter) value of his or her choice, creating a 'permanent' debris field.
