Royal Marines 'upgrade' commando raiding boat

PLYMOUTH-BASED Royal Marines will be able to strike deeper and faster after being equipped with a revamped raiding boat for discrete commando operations.

The Commando Raiding Craft (CRC) is a redesigned version of the tried-and-tested Offshore Raiding Craft – commonly known in the Corps as the ORC.

After two decades’ service with the Royal Marines around the globe, the craft has been given an overhaul to meet the demands of commandos in the mid-21st century as they return to their WW2 raiding roots: coastal landings behind enemy lines with small teams wreaking havoc on enemy infrastructure and systems.
