The SEALs SDV or SEAL Delivery Vehicle is a small open to water submarine. These battery powered units are attached to refitted Boomer (trident missle subs) that allow the SEALS to carry these vehicles close to shore and launch them for maritime missions.
With the intoduction of the new Virginia class sumbmarine this role has expanded and can now be undertaken in even shallower waters, allowing SEALS to effectivly conduct operations in shallower areas, increasing their ability to colplete missions.
Although I hardly understand much about this topic at all, I find it interesting and productive that we are still coming up with ways to keep our troops of men and women safe with more accurate ways of defending our country. The science behind SEAL technology is extremely interesting and up to date, and benefits our society and our wellbeing overall.
