Title: US Navy SEALs
First published: 1994
Description: The SEAL commandos of the US Navy Special Warfare Command rate high among the world's most superbly trained, motivated and equipped special forces. They strike by stealth, from the sea, and return to its silent cover when their job is done. They can be inserted by fast patrol craft, inflatable boat, submarine, scuba, helicopter or parachute; they are masters of stealthy reconnaissance, sabotage, rescue, and many other special forces missions; in the Gulf War they even roamed deep behind enemy lines in heavily-armed desert buggies. This full-color photo book describes and illustrates the SEALs' uniquely punishing selection training, their tactical organization, uniforms, insignia, personal equipment, weapons and special transport, in striking images supported by detailed text and captions. - Back cover.
