Yes, but minesweepers are coastal vessels, so you may end up going through more enemy minefields and suffering more damage having them along than you would if you swooped in from the open sea. To add insult to injury, minesweepers have a speed coefficient of 65% and since you usually have to go through more coastal zones than you would if you had used the open sea you will reach your destination MUCH slower.
