In game terms those old minesweepers are very important to France and Belguim as both Soviet and NATO laid mines would need to be cleared to keep their ports operational. And the Netherlands, which is at war with both countries, would most likely be using mines as a way to hit back against the French and Belgians.
Also ships like that dont have the fuel requirements of larger ships and as such are the kinds of ships that parties would encounter, either in the open sea, in the hands of a marauder or pirate or possibly as part of an adventure to grab one for their own use.
