The F470 Combat Rubber Raiding Craft (CRRC), also known as the "Combat Rubber Reconnaissance Craft," is a specially fabricated rubber inflatable boat often used by United States Navy SEALs and Marines, among others. Though Zodiac Marine & Pool produces a large range of both inflatable and rigid-hulled boats, the name "Zodiac" has become synonymous with the CRRC in popular culture.
