Read the whole piece...They were British commandos in an assault boat...
Commandos= SAS, SBS in UK
Commandos= SEALs, DELTA, Army Special Forces, Marine Recon in USA
There is plenty of opportunities for small arms engagements at sea with these forces...
Thanks for the post, and you’re nearly right.
The commandos were in fact Royal Marine Commandos. Our frigates often carry a detachment of 60 or so for just this kind of action.
Near enough Special Forces though!
Dont forget the Royal Marines, who are also (naval) Commandos, and have been since 1943.
