PART V.
Mine-sweeping Operations.

H.M. vessels engaged in mine-sweeping operations or exercises are hampered to a considerable extent in their manoeuvring powers.

VESSELS MUST KEEP CLEAR OF MINE-SWEEPERS.

With a view to indicating the nature of the work on which they are engaged, these vessels will show the signals hereinafter mentioned. For the public safety all other vessels, whether steamers or sailing craft, should endeavour to keep out of the way of vessels flying these signals and not approach them inside the distances mentioned herein, specially remembering that it is dangerous to pass between the vessels of a pair or group sweeping together.

1. Signals shown by day.

When towing Sweeps.

All vessels towing sweeps are to show :-

By Day.—A black ball at the fore masthead and a black ball at the yardarm on the side or sides on which it is dangerous for vessels to pass.

By Night.—All round green lights instead of the black balls, and in a similar manner.

(b) Vessels or formations showing these signals are not to be approached nearer than 500 yards on either beam and ships are not to cross astern at a less distance than 1,000 yards.

In no circumstances is a ship to pass through a formation of mine-sweepers.

(c) Mine-sweepers should be prepared to warn merchant vessels who persist in approaching too close by means of any of the appropriate signals from the Merchant Navy Code or the International Code of Signals.
