What are the three ways of Mine Delivery?

• A. Underwater, Surface, and Air
• B. Air, Surface, and Sub-Surface
• C. Air, Sub-Surface, and Surface
• D. Surface, Air, and Sub-Surface

Answer: (B)

The three delivery domains for naval mines are air-delivered, surface-delivered, and sub-surface-delivered. Mines can be deployed from aircraft, from ships on the surface, or from submarines/unmanned underwater platforms, covering the three environments where a mine might be placed. The best choice mirrors this standard set: Air, Surface, and Sub-Surface. Sub-Surface is the precise term used in the doctrine, and while “Underwater” conveys the same environment, the recognized trio uses Sub-Surface. The other options use that alternative wording or mix the order, but they don’t align with the conventional terminology for the three delivery methods.
