A 11-meter RHIB from Special Boat Team 20 about to splash down, after being deployed from a C-130 cargo plane using the Maritime Craft Aerial Deployment System (MCADS).
In such procedures, Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen typically free-fall down, following the RHIB into the water, later to pull themselves onboard and proceed with their mission.
