"Your old-school minesweeper is here!"

From a small and *A B S O L U T E L Y* boring appearance to Incredible minesweeping capabilities and a decent amount of defense against enemy vessels. And while creating fictional creations, it shall not be mistaken of something else. (Ok, I kinda searched in Google about minesweepers and whilst searching, a vessel that I tried to create of an actual minesweeper, USS Lapwing AM-1. Again, you know me very well that I'm lazy so with insufficient knowledge of how a minesweeper works, I just worked on some of the basic parts of the vessels.)
