Do ships on FS with mine sweeping actually sweep mines?

[brygun]

With some extra tonnage available on ships for Foreign Service I thought to add minesweeping gear. Yes, that cuts its ASW score in half.

I recall discussions in RTW2 where minesweeping applied for ships on AF not TP.


Where does FS duty fall into that?

It seems that a foreign guard ship would be working to keep transports safe so mine sweeping could be done.

I'm pretty sure that ships on TP can minesweep.

Pretty sure I've had messages about minefields being swept with all my KEs on TP.

Im not asking on TP though thats useful to know.. but I recall chats with earlier RTW1/2 about minesweepers needing to be on AF

Im asking about ships on Foreign Service

Can the staff clarify on minesweeping on AF, TP, FS, R modes
