Do you have more info on Navy Seals for me?

Question

My great-grandfather was a "frog-man" in WWI, and survived. Mom told me that they are basically the early Navy seals, which is really, really cool. He told me the story when I was ten, but I don't remember it. Do you have any more facts about Nazy Seals? Thanks!!

Answer 1

I respect you for looking back at the good things your grandfather did during the war. More of us should do that.

Some fun facts from Wiki.....

Summer 1941: Training began for units referred to as Amphibious Scouts and Raiders.
Spring 1943: The first group of volunteers selected from the Naval Construction Battalions (Seabees). They were organized into special teams called “Navy Combat Demolition Units” (NCDUs) and were trained at Waimānalo, Hawai'i and Fort Pierce, Florida. The units reconnoitered and cleared beach obstacles for troops going ashore during amphibious landings, and evolved into Combat Swimmer Reconnaissance Units, often known as frogmen. Some of these frogmen were recruited from breath-holding divers who dived for abalones on the California coast before the war. The NCDUs distinguished themselves during World War II in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters.
1947: The Navy organized its first underwater offensive strike units.
