They used handguns and rifles on board ship? I thought is was missiles, guns, torpedoes, and larger machine guns at sea. I guess I’m getting old.
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...
