 | 288k | The attack submarine Dallas (SSN-700), receives cargo during a brief port visit to Souda Bay, 12 April 2004. Commissioned in 1981, is Dallas the first Los Angeles-class submarine to have a Dry Deck Shelter (DDS). Dry Deck Shelters provide specially configured nuclear powered submarines with a greater capability of deploying Special Operations Forces (SOF). DDSs can transport, deploy, and recover SOF teams from Combat Rubber Raiding Crafts (CRRCs) or SEAL Delivery Vehicles (SDVs), all while remaining submerged. In an era of littoral warfare, this capability substantially enhances the combat flexibility of both the submarine and SOF personnel. | USN photo # N-0780F-091, courtesy of Paul Farley. | |
