ONE-MAN LIFE RAFTS
One-man life rafts are used with various soft
and hard types of survival kits. They are intended

LRU-7/P LIFE RAFT ASSEMBLY
The LRU-7/P consists of a simplified one-
man life raft, a static line release mechanism, and

to the standard Navy one-man life raft except it
contains no survival items (fig. 6-10). The
