	Estonian Defence Forces - Navy
		The top priority for the Navy is the development of mine countermeasures capability that is also one of the Navy's peacetime responsibilities: during World War I and II more than 80 000 sea mines were laid in the Baltic Sea.
		Since 1995 number of mine clearance operations have been carried out in Estonian waters in close co-operation with other navies of the Baltic Sea region in order to find and dispose ordnance and contribute to safe seagoing.
		Even though it was not until 1994 when the Navy was re-established and despite of the fact that it incorporates one of the smallest fleets in the world, the young crews of the Navy ships have demonstrated excellent interoperability during international exercises and have proved to be equal partners with other navies.

		EOD support to an amphibious group is similar to that provided to a carrier battle group, with the additional job of working with maneuver forces ashore.
		Depending upon their assessment of a mine's technologies, key components, and functions, EOD techs in the field can help determine what types of targets the mine's sensors are intended to detect and what its area of coverage is for a specific ship target.

		Currently operating as part of the Standing NRF MCM Group 1, HMS Ramsey is busy with exercises in the Baltic and off the West Coast of Scotland, but she will be seen in southern waters at the end of June when she takes part in the International Fleet Review off Portsmouth.
		This frontline role follows on from a refit and upkeep period in 2004, but the year before the warship was tasked with the intense work of post-operation mine clearance and survey in Iraqi waters.
		Ramsey, in common with her sister Sandowns, was designed primarily to clear mines and conduct survey operations both in harbours and the open ocean as far out as the edge of the eastern Atlantic continental shelf, although she is, and has more than proven herself, capable of a number of other tasks.
