By 1967, as a result of the success
of the SEALs in the Delta region, their numbers in Vietnam were
increased substantially. Their major base was at Nha-Be, and SEALs
maintained mobile bases on barges on the waterways of the Delta .
From these mobile bases they mounted hunter-killer and intelligence
missions throughout the region. Occasionally they were called upon
other missions as, underwater demolition, reconnaissance,
ambush-snatch, raids, special security duties and frequently acted
as scouts when large scale Riverine operations were mounted.
On this scenario mission the three man SEAL team is on a
hunter-killer mission in the Rung-Sat Special Zone south of Saigon.
A four man VC demolition team is spotted alongside the old French
railway and two are eliminated. The other two, one wounded, tries to
get away in the swamp. After some time the SEALs track them down. In
a short firefight one SEAL is wounded and the team breaks of as the
VC are supposed to receive reinforcements.
