>Konca 87 Moored Mine

>The Naval museum of Çanakkale is a very interesting place to visit. The museum area covers a part of a port that was build to protect the city and the straits from invading fleets. The fact that, the port was active during the Gallipoli wars creates an aura of authenticity.

At the weekend when I was visiting this museum I have seen this object:

It is a moored mine designed to explode upon contact. Pretty much a standard sea mine. But what makes this mine exceptional for me is the fact that it was produced in Turkey in 1987. I did not know that Turkish Navy has the capability of manufacturing mines
