Split the fleet and run them at high speed around the minefield - they'll hit something and take a hit, sweep the minefield back... oh and then if set to detonate they will... but your ships wont be hit.

With respect to minefields, the order of events goes something like this:

1. Ship movement
2. Impact field reduction (crash-sweeping)
3. Detonation
4. Mine laying
5. Minefield decay
6. Mine sweeping

http://www.starsfaq.com/order_events.htm

Here are some implications:

a) If your sweepers do not move, they will have already swept any new growth. They will appear outside the field (on the edge)and are safe from detonation the following turn.

b) However if the SD's laying ability exceeds your sweeping capability, you will appear inside the minefield. You simply need to move to a position outside of the current year's field to avoid detonation. But you may again be overwhelmed with next years mine laying.

c) If you move into a detonating field - to sweep it - you will take detonation damage the next year.

d) If you move into a detonating field above safe speed, you might take crash-sweep damage AND you will also take detonation damage. That is a potential for two hits in one turn.
