In this print by Michael Wood, we witness the skilled operators of a Dry Deck Shelter (DDS) as they retrieve a deflating combat rubber raiding craft (CRRC) during submarine operations off the coast of Hawaii in 1994. The image showcases the precision and teamwork involved in this intricate process. Four unrecognizable individuals can be seen utilizing a buoy and winch line to carefully lift the CRRC from the surface of the water. As they secure it onto the DDS track and cradle system, their expertise is evident through their synchronized movements. This moment captures an essential step in preparing for underwater missions conducted by naval special warfare teams, including Navy SEALs. The vibrant colors of this photograph highlight both the beauty of Hawaii's Pacific Ocean and the intensity of military operations taking place beneath its surface. The connection between man and machine is emphasized as ropes are meticulously tied down, ensuring that every aspect is secure before submerging into unknown depths. Wood's composition perfectly encapsulates not only the physicality but also the guidance required for successful underwater endeavors. It serves as a testament to these brave combat swimmers who rely on inflatable rafts like CRRCs to navigate treacherous waters with utmost stealth. This remarkable image stands as a tribute to all those who serve within undersea environments, showcasing their unwavering dedication and commitment to protecting our nation's security.
