The U.S. Navy has experienced many mine wars and has suffered enough from mines deployed by its enemy. Therefore,the U.S. Navy has learned lessons from that,and vigorously strengthens the building of mine countermeasures forces and constantly updates mine countermeasures combat concept and method. This paper discusses the U.S. Naval mine countermeasures combat thought,and analyzes the experience that we can learn in three aspects. The first is focusing on integrated operations and using layered defense. The second is focusing on aviation mine countermeasures and cooperating with naval ships and submarine forces. The third is conducting mine hunting and mine sweeping simultaneously and emphasizing maneuvering evasion when necessary. It can provide improvement and innovative ideas for Chinese Naval mine countermeasures combat thought.
