Beach Jumpers run the twin Hall Scott engines in each boat. In 1953 another boat was added to the six 63 footers at BJU1; a 104 foot AVR used as the command boat. The Beach Jumpers got their name because of their ability to quickly hit the beach and confuse the enemy with harassment and deception operations. During a high level conference, someone stated that the purpose of the Beach Jumpers' work was "to scare the be-jesus out of the enemy." The term "BJ factor" was used thereafter in their planning, and is said to have inspired the cover name Beach Jumpers.
