Sea, or naval mines are among the most dangerous weapons ever created.
As the name suggests, these explosive devices are intended for use in water environments such as oceans, seas, or rivers.
They play a crucial role in naval warfare and underwater defense strategies, and even today, are still used by many countries around the world.
But there’s a big problem. While these underwater mines are typically used to meet specific short-term military goals, they are almost never retrieved by those who deploy them when left unused.
As a result, eliminating old, lost, or abandoned mines is vital for the safety of all vessels, be they military, commercial, or private.
In the United States Navy, this responsibility falls to the highly skilled Explosive Ordnance Disposal or EOD technicians.
As you can imagine, there are some massive risks related to this job. Today on Boost, we’ll learn more about what kind of things this dangerous, yet extremely important job includes.
