I do believe 'Vessel' is more appropriate than 'Visit', given the terms Board, Serach & Seizure. However, the NAVY PR guys seem to interchange the terms rather inappropriately...

You asked for 'em:

Hey, i am working on putting together a SEAL VBSS airsoft outfit, but cant really find any good pics on here with them showing off equipment and stuff, so if anyone has any pics they could post or info would be helpful.
Thanks

Maybe that'll help you out http://www.navyseals.com/community/navyseals/equipmentland_assault.cfm

That info's pretty old.
Seal Team Six isn't a VBSS team anymore. They are now DEVGRU. A lot of the equipment shown on that page is out of date too.
