MARK V SOC (Special Operations Craft)

The Mark V is a marine security, patrol, and special forces insertion boat used by the United States Navy and manufactured by VT Halter Marine Inc. It was introduced into service with the US Navy SEALs in 1995.



The Mark V's primary mission is medium range insertion and extraction platform for Special Operations Forces (primarily SEAL combat swimmers). The secondary mission is limited Coastal Patrol and Interdiction, specifically limited duration patrol and low to medium threat coastal interdiction. The typical Mark V SOC mission duration is 12 hours.

In 2003, in one of the first actions of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Mark V SOCs operating out of Kuwait disembarked at least two platoons of Navy SEALs to capture Iraqi offshore oil terminals.



The Mark V has the capacity to carry sixteen fully equipped SEALs to missions 500 miles away from where they are based. They ride on seats that are designed for maximum comfort and shock mitigation in high seas or heavy maneuvering, and allows occupants to either stand or sit. The craft can carry four Combat Rubber Raiding Crafts with six outboard motors and fuel, to deploy forces from a clandestine distance.

The Mark V has many special features that make it more survivable while delivering sailors to their missions. Its angular design and low silhouette reduces its radar signature. Its V-hull design gives it good handling qualities in rough water as well as speed and shallow draft (four feet when cruising on-step). Its twin MTU 12-cylinder TE94 Diesel engines give it power and reliability and, coupled with the two K50S water jets, provides fast acceleration for operations near shore or in shallow waters as well as cutting down on the rooster tail effect that can make fast boats easier to see and track.

This primarily wood model is 20" long (1/48 scale) will be completed soon. $2,270 shipping and insurance in the contiguous USA included. Other places: $200 flat rate.
