Special Warfare in Action!
This series of photographs
will take you through an actual U.S. Navy Special
Warfare exercise conducted in the waters of Kaneohe
Bay, Hawaii, during RIMPAC 98. The exercise
begins with SEALs entering the water from the USS
Squall, a Navy Patrol Coastal vessel. They are
then extracted from the water by climbing up a caving
ladder to a hovering HH-60H Seahawk. Once aboard,
the SEALs are then flown back to the USS Squall where
they then fastrope to the deck. The photographs
demonstrate the Navy team in action including SEALs,
helicopters, CRRCs, and Patrol Coastal vessels all
working together to perform an assigned mission.
