Description

Edward J. Marolda (ed). Operation End Sweep represented the U.S. Navy’s extensive minesweeping campaign to remove mines originally laid by U.S. forces in North Vietnam’s shallow coastal waters. This account, originally written in 1977 as a security-sensitive document, describes this classic mine clearance campaign involving the deployment of men, ships, & specialized equipment halfway around the globe to complete a demanding & politically sensitive naval operation. Illustrated with photos & maps, the publication includes appendices containing a summary of the sweeping, lessons learned, forces involved, & chronology.
