So we've talked about SEALs before, but I wanted to know what everyone thought would make the ideal insertion platform for launching a Joe SEAL team onto Cobra island. Here are some possible choices for insertion:
1. CRRC (Combat Rubber Raiding Craft) - capable of being launched from a C-130, helo, watercraft or submarine, this slow-moving (18+ knots), light-range (60 NM) RIB has no armor and little to no organic firepower (1 mounted machine at most), and relies heavily on stealth, silence and darkness to avoid enemy detection and insert its coxswain and eight-man seal team.
2. SOC-R (Special Operations Craft-Riverine) - air-transportable, light and quick, this assault boat has a top speed of 40+ knots, a 195+ NM range and is extremely agile. It carries some ballistic armor, five mounted weapons (M2, M134, M240, Mk19), four crew (1 helmsman, 3 gunners) and 8 seals.
3. SURC (Small Unit Riverine Craft) - this fast, armored, air-transportable RIB (Rigid-hull Inflatable Boat) has a top speed of 40+ knots, a 250+ NM range, 2 crew and carries anywhere from 8 to 16 seals, while packing a slightly softer punch with one to three mounted machine guns.
4. Killer WHALE - this hovercraft offers plenty of offensive and defensive firepower in the form of two dual-barrel .50 calibre machine guns, two anti-aircraft quad missile launchers, and multiple anti-submarine depth charges. Operated by four crew, the hovercraft's moderate speed and amphibious capability make it apt for beach operations, but it can only deploy a five-man seal team.
5. Moray Hydrofoil - the fastest and most lethal boat in the Joe's arsenal--while sacrificing some manueverability--the hydrofoil boasts six M60 or M240 aft gun mounts, a remote-operated .50 cal machine gun, two side 55mm autocannons, a twin-barrel Mk38 25mm chain gun turret, four anti-aircraft missiles, and four anti-submarine depth charges. With five crew, it carries six seals and is limited to deeper water and offshore operations.
