The view from the OIC’s seat toward the stern, down the starboard side of the MSSC, with a good look at the M-60 and .50 caliber. In the background, an LDNN is searching a junk.

Another view from the OIC’s seat, toward the stern. That’s the minigun in the background. At the right is LT Joe Quincannon, OIC of Juliet Platoon. He's not dressed for an operation, and the other SEALs on board are from Victor Platoon

A “cool extraction,” with LDNN-advisor Lenny Horst and another SEAL on the bow of the MSSC. Again, the picture is shot from the MST OIC’s seat.

converted A/N M-3 aircraft ..50 machinegun on the starboard weapon mount of the MSSC. Note the ammunition feed arrangement. We used bungee cords and nylon line to hold the ammo boxes to the outside of the boat. This is a 426-round ammo box for .50 ammunition. Just visible to the right is a box for 7.62mm ammo for the M-60. The ballistic nylon, vinyl-covered "flak blanket" is laced to the inside of the boat's interior. Underneath the flak blanket were ceramic armor tiles. Photo: Bob Stoner

A daylight transit on the big north-south canal just east of the village we called the "Annex" (the village was about 5 km from SEA FLOAT). Both the MSSC and LSSC (to the rear and right in the photo) are "on-step" and at maximum speed. Note the 7.62mm Mini-gun installation of the MSSC.

An early morning extraction of a SEAL squad from the LSSC's perspective. Note the two blue-lens strobe lights. This was the signal to come in for the extraction. From the shadows on the water there are at least four SEALs on the beach. Photo: Bob Stoner

Above pics are SEALs upon extraction and prior to insertion.

The prisoners are VC who were targets of "snatch and grab" operations. The one in black is a female and the final pic is of a VC chief who survived a shotgun blast to the head.
