UK to base mine-sweeping drone ship in Oman
Just read that the UK is adapting a ship, RFA Lyme Bay, into a high-tech 'mother ship' for mine-sweeping drones, likely to be based in Oman's Duqm port. This autonomous system uses drones with advanced sonar to detect and safely destroy mines in the Strait of Hormuz, addressing threats there. It marks a shift toward using unmanned tech for faster, safer mine clearance.
