Title: Re: Royal Yugoslav navy mines Post by: brodarski on September 22, 2009, 11:46:16 am 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. ).
Title: Re: Royal Yugoslav navy mines Post by: Dili on September 22, 2009, 12:38:06 pm 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. Title: Re: Royal Yugoslav navy mines Post by: brodarski on September 22, 2009, 01:06:09 pm North sector is Selce. M is Sibenic ( Sebenico ).

Title: Re: Royal Yugoslav navy mines Post by: Dili on September 23, 2009, 03:33:05 pm Just to ask. Any knowledge of mining being made by submarines? Swedish Motala mines had a submarine vairant.
Title: Re: Royal Yugoslav navy mines Post by: brodarski on September 28, 2009, 09:51:46 pm 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. Title: Re: Royal Yugoslav navy mines Post by: Dili on September 29, 2009, 11:13:42 am Thanks.
