14025 — 14029 SPARE<br />

14030 ACTION AFTER ATTACK<br />

In warships, the search for limpet mines is the responsibility of the ships’ own divers. Any limpets<br />

found are to be dealt with by an officer qualified in rendering mines safe if such an officer is available. If no<br />

such officer is available, one of the ship’s officers must undertake this task in accordance with instructions<br />

based on available knowledge of enemy limpet mines. Clearing limpets from the hulls of merchant ships is<br />

the responsibility of EODTs. In either case, speed is essential; every effort is to be made to find <strong>and</strong> remove<br />

or render safe a limpet mine after it is discovered on any part of the ship as soon as possible. Ships are to<br />

take all appropriate measures to minimize the effect of an explosion should such occur before a limpet can<br />

be removed or rendered safe.<br />
