HMS Bronington (1099 words)
Bronington's main role was hunting for mines by using the high definition sonar.
Bronington could also sweep for mines by towing minesweeping gear which would cut the moored mines loose or by towing acoustic/magnetic influence sweeps which could imitate the characteristics of larger ships and set the mines off harmlessly.
Bronington was open to the general public on the Manchester Ship Canal until the summer of 2002.
