Combat Support Boat		  

The Combat Support Boat (CSB) is a powerful, versatile craft whose major role is to support both bridging and amphibious operations.

Water jet propulsion allows high thrust at shallow draught.

It can also be used as a general-purpose working boat in support of diving operations, ship-to-shore re-supply and inland water patrols.

The boat is carried on a purpose-built launching and recovery trailer.

It is used exclusively by the Royal Engineers.
