Breakdown of Miscellaneous Weight
Two mine rails - 10 tons each - 20 tons
Five hundred 600 kg sea mines - 300 tons
One of the anomalies of the American defense establishment of the 1920s and 1930s was the fact that responsibility for defensive sea mining in home waters rested not with the US Navy, but with the US Army – a mission assigned to the US Army Mine Planter Service, associated with the Coast Artillery. Historically the AMPS operated a small number of converted merchant ships and minor vessels, though in the Second World War larger vessels were built from the keel up – though by that time the mission had been passed, together with the ships, to the US Navy.
