In clearing mines, the hunter is also the hunted. Russian Experts Had Supervised Planting 3,000 WWII magnetic and contact Mines, menacing all our Navy and Marine amphibious Operations Minesweepers Merganser, Pirate & Pledge were also lost, and the Destroyer Brush severely damaged. 3,000 mines had been laid under supervision of Russian experts. It took from 10/10 to 10/25 to clear the mines for 1st Mar Div to land (10/26). ... Shallow, muddy coastal waters of the Sea of Japan were ideal for mines. They were a constant concern for my ship, Wantuck during our Commando raids.’ - http://www.koreanwaronline.com/arms/sweepkor.htm
