Inscription. The SEAFOX became a standard short range insertion craft for the Special Boat Units in 1982 and subsequently replaced the LCP(L). Designed to support a SEAL element with low profile, high speed, and large payload capacity, it was the first boat specifically designed to support SEAL Team operations. It was designed to deploy the swimmers with their equipment out the stern.

The stern ramp dropped down and became a platform for high-speed deployment.

The swimmers would literally run off the back of the boat in an attempt to counteract some of the craft's forward momentum and reduce their impact with the water. The crafts were decommissioned in the early 1990s.

Erected by National Navy UDT-Seal Museum.
