@Rashid Mahmood also for you mate.

Good..questions.

Does SSGN use close circuit diver system? (Obviously they do but just my curiosity)

What specific roles they are trained for? I don't mean the general roles of a naval commando force. What support elements do they have?

BTW, How's VBSS conducted by PN? On what perimeters?.
