Craft of Opportunity Program The Craft of Opportunity Program ( COOP ) was a Royal Australian Navy ( RAN ) acquisition program intended to supplement the navy ' s mine warfare capability with civilian vessels that could be quickly converted into minesweepers . Vessels acquired under COOP were not commissioned into the RAN , and instead operated with the prefix " MSA " ( Minesweeper Auxiliary ) . COOP was initiated in 1985 , to cover the gap in mine warfare capability caused by the decommissioning of the Ton - class minesweepers and delays in building their replacements , the Bay - class minehunting catamarans . In order to equip the auxiliary vessels , the RAN acquired several Klein Type 590 towed sidescan sonar arrays , along with Mini - Dyad magnetic influence sweep arrays , AMASS influence sweep arrays , and mechanical minesweeping gear . When the Bays were found to be poorly suited for minehunting work , the COOP vessels were kept on to until the " Huon " class entered service , with some retained as a supplementary force . Six vessels were purchased under COOP : and ( ex tuna fishing boats ) , ( a lighthouse tender ) , , and the " Bandicoot " - class minesweepers and ( former Singaporean harbour tugboats ) . Another three trawlers , " Salvatore V " , " Waverider " , and " Carole S " , were chartered . Also acquired under the program were three drone ships , which could be operated from the auxiliary minesweepers . Although not directly a part of COOP , the Defence Maritime Services training ship " Seahorse Horizon " can also be fitted out as an auxiliary minesweeper . By 2012 , most of the vessels have been sold or returned to their owners . " Bandicoot " and " Wallaroo " have not been operated as minesweepers since 2010 , but are retained to provide berthing support for nuclear - powered warships . The drones have been non - operational since 2007 , and are due to be replaced by 2013 .

PP Mi - D mine The PP Mi - D mine is a Czech copy of the German Second World War Schu - mine 42 anti - personnel mine . It consists of a simple wooden box with a hinged lid that acts as the trigger mechanism . A slot is cut into the side of the lid which rests on the striker retaining pin . The main charge is a block of cast TNT into which a variety of fuze s may be placed , typically either the RO - 1 or an MUV series fuze . The mine is triggered by pressure on the lid forcing the retaining pin out of the striker which then hits the detonator . It can be used with a tripwire connected to the fuze acting as a crude anti - handling device . There are also sometimes two holes drilled in the front of the box that accept wooden pins , either to prevent accidental detonation when laying or to increase the operating pressure . The wooden construction of the mine results in a short field life , with the box rotting or splitting preventing the mine from functioning . The mine was deployed in Angola and Namibia during the 1970s and 1980s .
