Much is made of service in minehunters in today's navy.
When did the RN sweep such a live mine?
1947? or later?

I'm sure there used to be an annual gathering of sweepers and they would go out and sweep the WW2 minefields in the North Sea.

Lots of work done regularly by the force, its also a case of contingency too. We rely on swept channels to ensure that vessels can go in and out of harbour without problems - for instance SSBNs. Keeping a capability to do this is key, not just to get rid of anything thats found, but to know what is there day to day and spot what changes.
