Editing Naval mine (section)

==== Mobile mine ====
The mine is propelled to its intended position by propulsion equipment such as a torpedo. After reaching its destination, it sinks to the seabed and operates like a standard mine. It differs from the homing mine in that its mobile stage is set before it lies in wait, rather than as part of the attacking phase.

One such design is the Mk 67 [[Submarine Launched Mobile Mines|Submarine Launched Mobile Mine]]<ref>[https://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/weaps/mk-67.htm MK 67 Submarine-Laid Mobile Mine (SLMM)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151014032600/http://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/weaps/mk-67.htm |date=14 October 2015 }}.

After reaching the target area they sink to the sea bed and act like conventionally laid influence mines.
