MCM-1 Avenger-class Ship

The MCM-1 Avenger-class ship is a specialized naval vessel designed for mine countermeasure operations, primarily clearing underwater mines to ensure safe passage for larger ships. Built with a semi-planing hull and advanced sonar systems, it uses remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and divers to detect and neutralize mines. Its compact, versatile design allows it to operate in shallow and confined waters, making it essential for maintaining maritime safety during both peacetime and conflict. Overall, the Avenger-class enhances naval security by effectively handling underwater threats that could impede military and commercial maritime traffic.
