    No, but they often posted sharpshooters shoot and detonate mines. During a big storm in the Pacific the Japaneseicon minefields were often cut loose. Apparently the Japanese didn't obey treaties requiring that un-moored mines have a mechanism to sink themselves. Ref. Little Ship Big War by Edward P. Stafford.
