A Military Minelayer is a cargo ship hauling many warheads, and explosives.

A Military Minelayer cargo ship.

Defenses

Anti-ship defenses

This is a military ship, so it's no surprise that it's heavily guarded.

Anti-personnel defenses

The ship's interior has no defenses.

Traps

1) Triggering the trap
2) Explosion
3) Resulting wreckage warheads are triggered
The locations of all the warheads on board.

This ship has fifteen warheads, all positioned to detonate in a chain reaction when reverse thrust is applied.

If the warheads are detonated, there won't be much left of the ship to salvage (shown right).
The ship's exterior will remain mostly intact, however all of the valuable modules will be destroyed; only the carcass of heavy armor blocks will remain.

Tactics

Approach

As of v1.23 (list), the Gatling Turrets and Missile Turrets aren't functioning.
So at this time, approach tactics are unclear.

Attack

As of v1.23 (list), the Gatling Turrets and Missile Turrets aren't functioning.
So at this time, attack tactics are unclear.
But one thing is clear, avoid shooting the explosives

Entry

ship full cross-section

There are 2 sections to this ship, but only the front section has an interior that isn't filled with explosives.
The floorplan (a vertical cross-section from the ship left) is shown below: CargoShip MilitaryMinelayer Floorplan.jpg
At the bottom of the ship is a Door that leads to a vertical shaft made with Passage Blocks.
This shaft leads to 3 levels:

Disable

The reverse thruster trap can be disabled by either:

The forward-most offending thruster is clearly exposed in the small section connecting the front and back of the ship.
It can easily be disabled, or even removed without disconnecting the 2 halves.

Some Heavy Armor Blocks, or Warheads and a Ramp need to be removed to gain access to the rear offending thruster.

When you can access the thrusters, use the Grinder on the Small Thrusters, at least until it is disabled, then you're ready to go.

Alternatively, if you're in a hurry, you can manoeuvre the ship to where you need it by only applying thrust in a forward direction.
This will mean that you need to point the ship away from your destination before you switch on the dampeners.

Salvage

Cargo Containers:
Each of the 4 large cargo containers can easily be raided.

Reactors:
There are 2 small reactors accessible from the interior containing a total of 2kg of Uranium Ingot
