I'd say that's a pretty good return on investment. |

How about the Juminda minefields that in late August of 1941 sank 5 Russian destroyers, three submarines, 13 other smaller warships and 34 transports carrying evacuated troops, damaged three other destroyers and many other ships. The Luftwaffe and German E-boats ran the score up further. Then there are the Russian minefields off Port Arthur that accounted for three battleships, at least two cruisers and some other ships. |

As far as the minefield with the greatest strategic impact, it has to be the one in the Dardanelles in WWI. |
