If you're not careful you will find out exactly where they are. Sooner or later.

So are the majority of mines meant to catch submarines that are at periscope depth? Or are they close to the sea floor incase a sub dives trying to sneak in, or evading? Hard to imagine hitting the mines that are in waters that are over 1000m deep, must have some bad luck if you do.
Where did that image come from? by the way?
