Navy SEALs
Maritime special operators
Navy SEALs are the U.S.
Navy's elite special operations force, trained for missions on sea, air, and land—the acronym's source.
SEALs undergo notoriously brutal training and handle counterterrorism, reconnaissance, and direct action operations.
The term often evokes toughness and elite status: He thinks he's a Navy SEAL just because he goes to the gym.
