| The Viscaya Defence Board mobilized a pair of trawlers, the Danak Ondo and the Marce, to act as a minesweeper. |
| In July 1937, Rickover was promoted to the rank of lieutenant commander and became the commander of the minesweeper, Finch, an old ship well past its prime. |
| At sea, he served in a battleship, an aircraft carrier, in cruisers, destroyers, frigates, and a minesweeper. |
| The wreck in question was discovered by a Navy minesweeper in 1995 and identified as the AHS following local advice. |
| A few seconds later another bomb fell close to a minesweeper and a fragment gashed the decks but did not penetrate them. |
| It may be apropos to say here that the smaller class of minesweeper is usually blown to pieces if she touches a mine. |
