History
Developed by Oregon Iron Works to replace the aging Mark V Special Operations Craft and Naval Special Warfare Rigid Inflatable Boats, the CCM Mk 1 was designed to provide a more transportable, agile, and survivable medium-range insertion platform. The craft officially entered service with United States Special Operations Command in 2015, achieving full operational capability by 2018. Operated by Special Boat Teams 12 and 20, the CCM Mk 1 has been deployed globally to support maritime interdiction and counter-terrorism operations in the Middle East, Europe, and the Indo-Pacific. Today, it remains a frontline asset for Navy SEALs and Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen, with ongoing upgrades focusing on advanced communication suites and remote weapon integration.
