A case for delaying sea-mine production

Delaying production is proposed as a way to conceal possible mine capabilities.

Question

What is the current view of sea mines?

Short answer

The proposal is to retain the capability while delaying production to keep possible designs concealed.

Notes

A proposed approach is to retain the ability to use sea mines while delaying production until they are needed. Keeping possible designs concealed would prevent others from learning what could be built and how it might be improved.
