In the discussions on corvette strategy here:
nws-online.proboards.com/thread/4236/corvettes-say-hello-little-friends?page=1&scrollTo=63809
aeson of the NWS team presented that the mine-sweeping score is based on tonnage.
I humbly submit that a mine-sweeper of twice the tonnage doesn't necessarily have sweep lines twice as wide. There can be benefit from having larger mine sweepers. It is first most important that there is a ship sweeping mines.
I thus suggest that there should be a base score for mine-sweeping plus size. In other words that there is a better starting value for smaller mine sweepers and that the score goes up more slowly with possible the final score of 26 for 1,000+ plus tons being the same.

(Minesweeping rating for corvettes/destroyers fitted with minesweeping gear appears to be strictly size-dependent - 6 for 200-tonners, 8 for 300-tonners, 11 for 400-tonners, 14 for 500-tonners, 16 for 600-tonners, 18 for 700-tonners, 21 for 800-tonners, 24 for 900-tonners, and 26 for anything larger, or roughly 2.6-2.7 per 100 tons.)
