It took a special delivery system because the other side was shooting back!
BTW, the big secret was set the bomb off close to the base of the dam. This is a piece of cake when you can simply motor up to the face of the damn dam and scuttle your boat.
Heck, since you don't have to get the charge into a light enough package to airlift, you can "use enough dynamite, there Butch"...
Wrong. It took a special delivery system because of the minimum size of the bomb necessary to cause damage.

Not that easy - I was at Hover dam last year and noticed that there were armed patrol craft making sure that no boats got too close.
