My own take on it would be swimmers with explosive charges....there was footage floating around of a Iranian speed boat trying to attack a tanker with a recoilless rifle....the backblast set fire to the boat and blew two crewmembers overboard. And that was with a SPG-9; firing a 106mm......ouch!

Without a proper warship of some kind, they're probably only going to be successful (and live) with divers and limpet mines.
I wouldn't want to try it in winter though!

I still think if Irish terrorists had the resources (be that recoilless rifles, limpet mines or whatever) they'd be better employed using them against British Army targets in Northern Ireland.
Also, you've listed the IRA, but there were a number of other active terrorist groups in NI including the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) and various different IRA factions. Probably worth noting that there was often in fighting between the various different groups (both Republican and Loyalist) so there could well be a number of frictions within the Combined Loyalist Military Command.

saw this thread (and a very interesting one indeed)
has anyone on the board ever tried to do an Ireland Sourcebook - the way the UK Sourcebook was written it makes it sound like an Irish one was going to be done but it was never started

Wonder if the original author was possibly thinking of setting a module in Ireland then using that to expand on the situation in Ireland - much as Kings Ransom did with the situation in the Esfahan area in Iran (i.e. it corrected a couple of oversights and added some nice details lacking in the RDF Sourcebook)

I intended to do one as a companion piece to my UK Survivor's Guide, but I never got beyond the preliminary stages and at the moment I have neither the time nor the inclination to pick it up again.
If you want to see how far I got check out this thread from MSG #81 onwards. http://forum.juhlin.com/showthread.php?t=2947&page=3
