Royal Yugoslav navy mines

[Dili]

In my list i have this:

Swedish M18(?) Lindholmens-Motala,
C 15 sometimes refered as C 1915( maybe also other C's like C 12 all models ex. Austro Hungarian)
French unknown model
English unknown model maybe Vickers H3 the typical export model.


Any more info available like quantities?

[MOTORISTA]

All I know, is that our navy laid 1100 C-15 mines before the April war.

[brodarski]

Exactly Royal Yugoslav Navy laid 80 C-15 in North Sector, 280 C-15 in M. Sector, off Boka Kotorska 180 mines C-15 ( La marina italiana Roma 1961. ).

Thanks MOTORISTA, brodarski. brodarski what place were the North Sector and M.sector?  All minefields you refer doesn't sum 1100 only about half of that .

Btw my above information is from Naval Institute Press - Naval Weapons of World War Two. You can find it in Italian Mines Chapter. I believe Italian sources will give a better light on this, if the Yugoslav ones were lost.

[brodarski]

North sector is Selce. M is Sibenic ( Sebenico ).

Thanks

Just to ask. Any knowledge of mining being made by submarines? Swedish Motala mines had a submarine vairant.

[brodarski]

No laid from submarines. All YU mines laid Zmaj and minelayers Mosor, Mljet etc. Only laid C-15 and Vickers.
Submarines are on the south in patrol service.

Thanks.
