to avoid such mines ships are de-magnetized. I never though heard of "over-pulse-magnetizing/etc." of de-mining ships (or even say low&slow flying planes) as a way to trigger those mines from a safe distance - a de-mining approach that the solar flare triggered explosions suggest.
- philcrump 7y agoTowing a magnetic field generator behind a boat or aircraft is a common minesweeping technique. The generator is usually mounted on a floating 'sled' to maximise depth capability, but aircraft-mounted degaussing coils were used in minesweeping by the British in WWII. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minesweeping https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minesweeping
