EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Michael Wood, we witness the remarkable efficiency and precision of Dry Deck Shelter (DDS) operators in action. Set against the stunning backdrop of Hawaiian waters, a combat rubber raiding craft (CRRC) is skillfully winched down from the surface towards an underway submarine. As the CRRC descends, it gracefully deflates, gradually conforming to the track and cradle DDS system attached to the submarine. Two unrecognizable individuals operate the winch with utmost focus and expertise, ensuring that every step of this delicate operation is executed flawlessly. The image showcases not only the advanced machinery involved but also highlights the vital role played by these unsung heroes within our armed forces. As part of an underwater demolition team or naval special warfare unit, they are responsible for transporting essential cargo and personnel swiftly and securely through various maritime environments. The presence of inflatable boats such as CRRCs underscores their versatility in both surface and submerged operations. These rigid hull inflatable boats serve as indispensable tools for reconnaissance missions or basic underwater demolitions carried out by elite forces like Navy SEALs. Wood's photograph captures a moment frozen in time - a testament to meticulous preparation and unwavering dedication exhibited by these brave men and women who navigate treacherous waters to ensure our nation's safety.
