The " wet " type , where combat swimmers ride on the outside , exposed to the water . Examples of wet SDVs include the American " SEAL Delivery Vehicle " . There is also the " dry " type , where swimmers ride in a compartment inside , not exposed to the water . Examples include the American " Advanced SEAL Delivery System " .

Action at Earnside The Action at Earnside was a skirmish which took place in the Wars of Scottish Independence in September 1304 . Not much is known about it , but it is significant as the last action known to be fought by William Wallace . Even its location is uncertain . Contemporary records describe it as taking place at " Yrenside " . This is usually interpreted to mean " Earnside " , i . e . somewhere on the banks of the River Earn . However it has been suggested that it should be interpreted as " Ironside " , which could possibly mean Ironside Hill in the Sidlaw Hills . There is mention in English records of compensation being paid for horses lost in a flight from William Wallace at " Yrenside " . There is also mention of the Constable of Dundee pursuing Wallace . To complicate matters further , there is a plaque at a site called " Black Earnside " near Newburgh in Fife which claims that Wallace defeated the Earl of Pembroke here on 12 June 1298 . However it is not clear that this has any basis in contemporary records , and this raises some problems , among them that Wallace was at the Battle of Falkirk the following month , and the Earldom of Pembroke was vacant at that time .
