I would suggest using Submunition Packs as a model for mines: 

The Submunition Pack rules are altered so that the more powerful effects
are against larger ships 

(NB the range of the mine is still 3") 

The Mine affects the different classes of ships as follows: 

3D6         Capitals           

2D6         Cruisers 

1D6         Escorts 

4,5 = 1 Damage, 6 = 2 Damage. Screens have no effect 

I've used this to great effect in running scenarios with players who
know the effects of mines and don't think too much of them. This scares
them. They can no longer soak up mines with their battleships.
