    This is good news. Only who will explain what is the catch of the fiberglass case and is it durable? Doesn’t react like a mine?

      Like yes .. magnetic .. not those that are magnetized, but those that react to metal will not work .. Plastic is completely not subject to corrosion. If the design is read correctly, where it is necessary to reinforce .. then the service life of the case is very long .. decades without repairing the case.

        Do sea ducks know about this? Sea water is only one component of the impact on the ship's hull. Nature will get to everything. This is not me, this Darwin said. For a while, yes, and then wifi. What if she likes it?

    Compensate for the lack of strike ships in commodity quantities.

    You yourself answered the question. The minesweepers sometimes made wooden, so that the magnetic mines did not react to it
