Subs didnt do mine cutting unless maybe called for in a harbour penetration
(mission specific along with net cutting) in which case they would have had
two swimmers
No the Subs Used FM sonar to detects individual mines in order to navigate
into the sea of japan and other restricted locations that were heavily guarded
by mine barrages, as well as strong surface and picket forces.
FM sonar was Largely pushed for directly by admiral Lockhart himself
