Someone on another forum asked me what a "parachute mine" was since they seen one on the map. I know some might not know what they are so:

It was a sea mine dropped by aircraft under parachute. If it landed in the water it would sink to the bottom and await for a ship or a sub. If it landed on land then a timer would start and explode 25 seconds after impact. Most of the time....

   That's pretty cool.  I always enjoy a history lesson.
