May 23, 201312 yr Pondicherry-class minesweeper http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pondicherry_class_minesweeper "The Pondicherry class are a class of minesweepers built for the Indian Navy by the Soviet Union. They are modified versions of the Natya class minesweeper. The vessels were acquired in two batches. The first were purchased from 1978 to 1980 and the second from 1986 to 1988. Technically, the second batch is referred to as the Karwar class but are physically identical to the first batch with the exception of additional surface-to-air missiles. As minesweepers, they are large and heavily armed. They can serve a dual purpose as an anti-submarine warfare escort. Their hulls are constructed of U3 low magnetic signature steel." --Wikipedia Although mines are not modeled in Harpoon, a mine-sweeping mission can be modeled very easily. It's simply a "Reach Station" mission. In ANW, of course, the scenario would be based not around finding the mines but protecting the minesweepers from other hostile forces. In some cases, against small boats, etc., they could defend themselves. In other cases, they may need a little help. ANW HUD-4 v1.11
