I wonder if it simply a really timid leader, I haven't checked that.

Is the TF type "Minesweeping" or "Local Minesweeping"? Because I think it matters.

AMc to the best of my knowledge can only do local minesweeping. Wargamr has the turn and I will check when I get it back.

I am going to chalk it up to being a single ship, very poor crew 25 or worse experience, and I neglected to look at the Captain. The DMS detached from the bombardment TF have cleaned up the mines.

I don't like using single ship TF but in this case that was all that was available until more arrived.

Plus the Allies could have been refreshing their minefields too.

I'm not positive, but I think the Captain needs to have decent Aggression (AKA cajones) to take on the minesweeping mission.

You want to sweep Tabiteuea? I don't see enemy minefield icon there, so if it exist it is undetected. But to my knowledge, minesweepers always sweep enemy mines in their hex. Even under fire of enemy CD guns. I don't think they will go there on their own, you have to send them specifically.
