481: 463: 1074:. There is a 1943 film that is not at all significant to film history, but which as it happens is so named because it is about the adventures of a sailor aboard a minesweeper. There is also the windows game, which is probably well known, but not historically as significant as the ship whose work it invokes. The game is a few decades old, but minesweepers have been in use since about 1855 and are referenced as such in literature predating World War I. I respect that googling the word gets mostly hits for the video game, but that reflects the recent bias of the internet, but try googling the plural, minesweepers. 900:
a beaconing tag use to signal location and aid in subsequent neutralization. Mechanical sweeps, such as an oropesa (link) or paravane (link) sweep, maintain a desired depth and position relative to the ship depending on the type of mine and body of water. An emulation sweep, also called an influence sweep, is a device designed to replicate the conditions of a ship in transit across the effective path-range of an influence mine. The mine logic of influence ordnance detect and actuate on the mechanical and electromagnetic energies produced by a ship or submarine (
1919:, that are streamed from the sweeping vessel thus keeping the sweep at a determined depth and position. Some large warships were routinely equipped with paravane sweeps near the bows in case they inadvertently sailed into minefields—the mine would be deflected towards the paravane by the wire instead of towards the ship by its wake. More recently, heavy-lift helicopters have dragged minesweeping sleds, as in the 1991 Persian Gulf War." 1555:
it's not the primary topic. When it comes to Minesweeper, if I search the term, the video game article is the first Knowledge (XXG) hit, despite the fact that Knowledge (XXG) has the disambiguation page set as the primary. When the entrance point cannot be controlled, you can't say with much confidence that the number of page views is the result of more Wikipedians looking for the video game article as opposed to the ship article. --

The essential difference between the target (TEM/TSM) and mine setting (MSM) modes is that target mode is "designed to clear those mines that would be a threat to the emulated vessel class, regardless of mine sensitivity, settings, or logic", while mine setting is "designed to have improved performance against mines for which logic and sensitivities are known" ( 1246:; most Google hits will be about the computer company, but the title goes to the topic having clear long-term historical significance, with a hatnote to the secondary topic. If this article was moved as proposed, with a hatnote linking to the computer game, readers and disambiguators would be in a much better situation than they are now. Obviously, I also 260: 233: 1786:. Just because one thing is named after another does not make the original thing primary, and arguments about long term significance are not well founded because the game has been around for twenty years or more and has remained significant throughout that time; there is no indication that its significance will reduce drastically in future.  — 1736:- the video game has been included with versions of Microsoft Windows for as long as I can remember, and for many (including me) this will be the primary connotation they have for the term. Personally I didn't even know there was a ship called a Minesweeper, though obviously I do now. This is a very clear case of no primary topic.  — 359: 348: 899:
Minesweepers are equipped with either mechanical or emulation sweeps used to perform the function of mine detection or detonation. The type of sweep used is determine by the type of mine deployed. A mechanical sweep is a device designed to cut the anchoring cables of a moored contact mine, and attach

To be honest, I kind of discount incoming links in this case due to the fact that many examples of minesweeper ships, most of which are notable, will link the term. The military history project has been very thorough in creating these articles, even just to a stub level, but even a stub will likely
907:
Emulation sweeps operate in two distinct modes. When an emulation sweep replicates a ship's signature it is considered to be sweeping in target emulation mode (TEM), also called target setting mode (TSM). This mode emulates the acoustic and seismic signatures, hydrodynamic (pressure) signals, static

It's a matter of opinion, but page views can be a misleading statistic as it seems to be in this case. If I google Apple, Apple Inc. shows up as the first hit for Knowledge (XXG). Naturally, more people are going to visit that article more than the primary topic selected on Knowledge (XXG). Still,

Conventional minesweepers are designed to tow a submersible glider, called a sweep, alongside or behind its hull to perform the process of mine detection or detonation. Modern mine-sweeping techniques use remote controlled sweeps that precede the vessel. To reduce the chances of detonation from

The Minesweeper game reached the height of its popularity in the late 90's. Sure, many people still remember it and may even still play some variant of the game today, but its significance is undoubtedly in decline. Long-term significance may be debatable, but it is also only one aspect. Having

Also, I find it interesting that even with Google (and other search engines) on its side, the Minesweeper game article only gets 2-3 times more traffic on average. I would have expected that to be a lot higher if a significant majority were not interested in the ship article.

Regarding the first aspect, on raw quantitative usage, I see no sign that the video game is "much more likely than any other topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined" of being the term sought than the ship, the film and the practice of de-mining.

I see that modern minesweepers have a number of ways to avoid setting off a mine during a sweeping operation, but how did minesweepers during WWII, for example, not get sunk while moving through a minefield? I don't see what countermeasures would work against a
