Yabbut in reality both sides had boats that could sweep mines near harbours. DMS and MSW type ships are fairly big and for sweeping distant minefields not for tootling around near a base. The IJN used wooden fishing boats and the like for that and the USN and RAN had YMS/MMS type minesweepers.

Mogami's suggestion on v. rapid decay of minefields near larger ports is a good one I think and saves adding any ships. A bigger deal in WitP I think. There are going to be quite enough ships without adding all the hundreds and hundreds of motor minesweeping boats.

Cheers,
