Most likely, although minesweepers do often go into dangerous waters doing their job. The problem will be that this reef is a protected area, so the Captain will probably be the throw-down gun. Hope he enjoys his next two-year assignment in Tierra del Fuego shuttling supplies to Antarctica.
Thank God for the Federal Reserve. You can't have big government or big wars without them.
