That's the third minesweeper we've donated so far. These are relatively modern ships too, built in the late 80s, but they're made from plastic, so not very repairable.
OTOH, non-metallic hulls won't trigger magnetic mines.
Thats exactly why they were built like that.
Each disadvantage has its advantage
