Let's say I have a Raddus fleet with a MC75 Profundity with a Hammerhead inside it. Both ships have proximity mines on them. If the MC75 is the ship used for the Raddus drop, can you still place the 3 mines since the card states "before deploying ships"?

Yes.

The timing is before deploying fleets .

This is the same timing as putting something inside the Profundity, as well as putting something "behind" Admiral Raddus' ability to deploy later.

Using the same situation that lets you nesting doll those in the first place, you can elect to deploy the Proximity Mines before those in the order of activation...

Because, although something "doesn't exist" once its set aside.. It totally exists before it is Set aside... Otherwise you couldn't set aside something into being set aside

thx Dras...it's always good to get a confirmation from the rules guru! 😀
