Mine Warfare Specialist
As a Mine Warfare Specialist, you’ll be doing vitally important work making the seas safer for both Royal Navy and civilian ships. As well as threatening our warships in combat areas, mines make our peacetime activities, such as maritime police work or delivering humanitarian aid, more difficult and dangerous. You’ll be trained to find mines using mine-hunting sonar. And, having detected them, you’ll then be responsible for launching and controlling your ship’s remote-controlled mine-disposal vehicle (an unmanned miniature submarine) to deal with them. The safety of your ship, and everyone on board, could one day depend on your skill, quick thinking and powers of concentration. It’s a big responsibility, but one with rewards to match.
