Naval mine clearance was originally done by whatever type of vessel could easily be adapted to the task, paddle steamers proving particularly suitable due to their shallow draught. In both World Wars trawlers were employed as they were naturally suitable vessels for wire sweeping (in World War II this task was given to smaller trawlers of around 300 tons, larger ones being used for anti-submarine work). The increased sophistication and threat posed by the naval mine meant that specialist mine countermeasure vessels eventually had to be built; the Minesweeping Sloop (this term was officially dropped in 1937, but continued in use nonetheless). The Royal Navy has possessed such vessels since 1914. The following is a list of aircraft carriers of the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom. ...

There were also some conversions of ships originally built for other purposes for special minesweeping. This was mainly early in World War II for sweeping of acoustic and magnetic mines, and later in the war influence mines. The ships selected were of varying origin and age and thus do not form a class as such.

Aircraft may also be used for this purpose, and other countries have done so extensively. The only known use of aircraft by the United Kingdom were the modified Wellington bombers used in the Mediterranean in 1940—41. Their use revealed the limitations of the technique in that it only works effectively in very shallow water. The Vickers Wellington was a twin-engine, medium bomber designed in the mid-1930s at Brooklands in Weybridge, Surrey, by Vickers-Armstrongs Chief Designer, R.K. Pierson. ... A bomber is a military aircraft designed to attack ground targets, primarily by dropping bombs. ...
