I quote from the Empire manual (under mine):
``Harbors and the water under bridge spans can be mined.  Your
ships will automatically avoid these mines when passing
through, (and minesweepers will not pick them up).''

So I guess if you really don't want any more ships (for some
odd reason) and were feeling belligerent, you could mine your
harbor and let some unfortunate enemy float into it.

You did bring up a point that I have been thinking about for
the past couple of days:  I would like to see a way to defend
ships and sectors from other ships.
