How many mines are there in "combat round" of ML, DM and SS?

Hi all,

As we all know the UV calculates the ammo in "combat rounds" instead of actual
shells/torpedoes/mines.


But I am wondering how many actual mines are there in "combat round" of ML, DM and SS?


NOTE: SS can usually carry 2, Allied DM 30, Japanese ML 60/75/125/150...


Any ideas gentleman?

Easy as 2 x 2.

one combat round = one mine.

mine capacity of vessel = number of weapons by amount of ammo.

Examples from UV
USN DM's Mk 16 mine capacity = (number of weapons = 2) x (amount of ammo = 40) = 2 x 40 = 80 Mk 16 mines (which was its historical capacity).

USN S-Class Mk 10 mine capacity = 4 x 2 = 8 Mk 10 mines (+ 4 21" torps).

Thanks!
