Has anyone ever used SDV's besides the teams?

Has the Army or Marine Corps. ever used them in combat operations or at least used them as a training tool?

-have heard that the USCG has used them in the past on a rare occasion for underwater exploration and wreckage retrieval purposes.

My guess would be no, since they are "wet" vehicles, which require the use of scuba. The primary rig used in the SDV is the MK 15 (don't want to use all the air or oxygen in your personal scuba while driving to the target area), and I don't know of any other services sending guys to MK 15 school. Someone from SDVs please help me out here.
