Offshore Raiding Craft

The Offshore Raiding Craft (ORC) is one of the latest additions to the Royal Marines inventory of amphibious craft designed to transport troops from ship to shore. The ORC is primarily used when undertaking 'Strategic Raiding' missions, where speed and covertness is desired. However, it is equally as capable when conducting larger scale amphibious operations alongside the larger and more traditional LCACs, LCUs and LCVPs.
