Hi,
Just out of curiosity, first time i noticed this item on an escort. What could it be? :06:

Is it a Minesweeper? If yes, those could be Mine Detectors ... not sure, though ...

:Kaleun_Thumbs_Up: thanks Anvar!

Didn’t know about this stuff... drained by ship against naval mines (to cut the mine cable) or even against submarines (with a TNT charge inside)!

Always learning, thanks to silent hunter! :)

Paravanes on a W13 (or similar) class japanese minesweeper, with Royal Navy's flag.
