MINE_CAPABILITY_TYPE ACTIVE Active. 1 IR [FACC, Annex B, MPO:8]  
STD
2005/06/07
MINE_CAPABILITY_TYPE BOUQUET A number of buoyant <EXPLOSIVE_NAVAL_MINE> cases are attached to the same sinker, so that when the mooring of one <EXPLOSIVE_NAVAL_MINE> case is cut, another <EXPLOSIVE_NAVAL_MINE> rises from the sinker to its set depth; bouquet [J1-02, "bouquet mine"]. 2 IR [FACC, Annex B, MPO:7]  
STD
2005/06/07
MINE_CAPABILITY_TYPE CREEPING A buoyant <EXPLOSIVE_NAVAL_MINE> held below the <WATERBODY_SURFACE> by a weight, usually in the form of a <CHAIN>, which is free to creep along the <WATERBODY_FLOOR> under the influence of <WATER_CURRENT>s; creeping [J1-02, "creeping mine"]. 3 IR [FACC, Annex B, MPO:3]  
STD
2005/06/07
MINE_CAPABILITY_TYPE DRIFTING A buoyant or neutrally buoyant <EXPLOSIVE_NAVAL_MINE>, free to drift under the influence of <WATER_WAVE>s, <WIND>, <WATER_CURRENT>s or the <TIDE>; drifting. 4 IR [FACC, Annex B, MPO:1] [J1-02]
STD
2005/06/07
MINE_CAPABILITY_TYPE HOMING Fitted with propulsion <EQUIPMENT> that homes onto a target; homing [J1-02, "homing mine"]. 5 IR [FACC, Annex B, MPO:5]  
STD
2005/06/07
MINE_CAPABILITY_TYPE MOBILE Designed to be propelled to its proposed laying position by propulsion <EQUIPMENT>, like a torpedo, sinking at the end of its run and then operating like an <EXPLOSIVE_NAVAL_MINE>; mobile [J1-02, "mobile mine"]. 6 IR [FACC, Annex B, MPO:4]  
STD
2005/06/07
MINE_CAPABILITY_TYPE OSCILLATING Hydrostatically controlled, which maintains a pre-set depth below the <WATERBODY_SURFACE> independently of the rise and fall of the <TIDE>; oscillating [J1-02, "oscillating mine"]. 7 IR [FACC, Annex B, MPO:2]  
STD
2005/06/07
MINE_CAPABILITY_TYPE RISING Having positive buoyancy and released from a sinker by the influence of a <VESSEL> or by a timing <DEVICE>; rising [J1-02, "rising mine"]. A rising mine may fire by contact, hydrostatic pressure or other means. 8 IR [FACC, Annex B, MPO:6]  

Group membership:

In addition to the status and date information for each entry, a colour coding scheme highlights the database holding to which an entry belongs. The following highlight colours are used:

  • white - the entry is in the standard
  • yellow - the entry has been added to the register
  • pink - the entry has been submitted for inclusion in the register, but it is not approved
  • cyan - a deprecated entry that was originally either in the standard or was added to the register, but has since been deprecated

The following icons are used to identify items that have figures, modifications and/or clarification notes:

  • F n - has Figures and, if more than one figure, n figures
  • M - has Modifications
  • C - has Clarifications
