What mine-warfare support accompanied Operation Musketeer?
Short answerThe force included HMS Manxman, net layers, several minesweepers, and repair support for the landing craft.
NotesMine warfare formed part of the Suez force through several specialised ships. HMS Manxman served as a minelayer, net layers accompanied the operation, and several minesweepers were available to clear approaches. A landing-craft repair ship and numerous tank landing ships extended the support system beyond mine countermeasures alone. These less visible vessels helped open, protect, and sustain the amphibious operating area.
