Mine Sweepers:


These pictures are of the minesweeping fiberglass hulls.  They had 
cable-cutting cables attached to them and were towed buy ships.  They are 
full of styrofoam blocks and were set up with fins so that the faster they 
were towed, the deeper they went.  At rest, they would float.  The fiberglass 
is up to 1/2 inch thick, more in some places.  They are 18 ft. long and 3 ft. 
in dia. at the largest section.  FOB Manteca, Ca. they are $300.  The 
scuffing seen in the pictures is superficial... with only the white paint 
rubbed off.
