I don't know anything about this topic, but I've read here and there.
Wouldn't they need to have a way of getting those close enough, without
detection, to deliver them to the target? I would think, and hope, the
carriers would detect something was up long before they were able to get a
good shot at 'em.

I wouldn't be suprised that given the narrow waters down around the
straight that a lone atomic mine wouldn't have decent odds of being
able to take out a carrier.

Laying the mine might be considered a hazardous undertaking though.
