The Combat Rubber Raiding Craft ( CRRC) is a 15-foot (4.5-meter), heavily reinforced, inflatable rubber boat that is useful on many missions. Air Force cargo aircraft and by helicopter. It holds up to 20,500 pounds (9,300 kilograms) of personnel and cargo and is well-suited to inland waterways. It is used in river environments and has a top speed of 40 knots. The Special Operations Craft-Riverine ( SOC-R) performs short-range insertion and extractions. It is large enough to transport an entire SEAL squad. The NSW Rigid-hull Inflatable Boat ( RHIB) is an 36-foot (11-meter) high-speed, high-buoyancy, extreme-weather craft used for moving SEAL tactical elements to and from the ship and beaches. The MK V can operate from shore facilities or from specially equipped ships. It is also used for some coastal patrol and maritime interdiction operations, such as destroying an enemy supply line. It is used primarily in medium-range ocean transport of SEAL combat swimmers in environments where the threat is low-to-medium. The MK V Special Operations Craft ( SOC) is the most versatile, high-performance combatant craft in the Naval Special Warfare inventory. We assumed these were most likely the remnants of a unit of ill-fated amphibious tanks assigned to support the US infantry in the first wave of the invasion.There are several primary surface watercraft.
Perhaps most intriguing was a collection of vehicles assumed to be Sherman tanks, located at a considerable distance offshore at Omaha Beach. Soon innumerable magnetometer anomalies - deviations in the earth's magnetic field due to the presence of a massive, ferrous objects - were detected. Using state-of-the-art remote sensing, detection and imaging equipment, our goal was to determine the location of landing craft, artillery, ships, ordinance and any other equipment lost during the fighting to establish a toehold in occupied Europe.īy mapping the sites we hoped that the shroud of confusion that has surrounded the history of the invasion could be lifted and a detailed history of the losses close to shore could be written. Engine: 410 hp diesels - linked to two propellers.Speed: 25 mph on land, four knots in water.
