The Naval Special Warfare (NSW) RHIB is a 11 meter long rigid hull inflatable boat powered by twin diesel engines, operated by SWCC Special Boat Teams.
NSW RHIB Roles:
The primary role of the NSW RHIB is insertion and extraction of Special Operations Forces (SOF), typically Navy SEALs. This may include insertion/extraction

Other roles include general patrol duties, coastal surveillance and resupply of SOF. A squad of 8 fully-equipped SEALs + SWCC crew can fit into a single NSW RHIB.
NSW RHIB Features:
