Re: Sea mines
I have my doubts whether this really is a Greek? The long tail is very distinctive. It could also be the ex - Yugoslav Zmaj?Sturm78 wrote:Hi all, I found this image of a greek warship with seamines: Image from Ebay Sturm78
Re: Sea mines
The picture belonged to a fotoserie in which was also this other image, identified by Aleks as a Romanian Marasti-class destroyerMischa wrote

Hi all,
I found this image on Ebay. According to photocaption, Toulon harbour in 1942. I guess french seamines. Any idea about the model?

Re: Sea mines
From the frenche cruiser in the background it most likely is toulon, however these balls lack detonating devices and the presence of the cables which could be a net next to them as well as the lack of mine anchors I would say that these are the floats for a subarine or anti-torpedo net.
