@myopiniongoodyouropinionbad you're talking about hard hat diving. You know like the little guy you used to put inside the fish tank? This would be a diving suit with a brass helmet an Air supply from above by a hose. Some of that stuff is still used today.

@dejangabrovsek6534 you would occasionally have ships send shore parties. Such as with the SMS emden taking a island communication station in the Indian Ocean. Or when US Naval forces had to go down to Veracruz, Mexico. They use disembarked sailors to carry out a police action. In the various colonies, they might have to be used when Army troops were not available.

@dejangabrovsek6534 are you familiar with the defense of the foreign legations during the Boxer Rebellion in China? Look up the film, "55 days at Peking."
