Seabees - CAN DO!

The Seabees are the Construction Battalions of the United States Navy.

The Seabees of the United States Navy were born in the dark days following Pearl Harbor, when the task of building victory from defeat seemed almost insurmountable. The Seabees were created in answer to a crucial demand for builders who could fight.

The Seabees are the proud parent organization of the UDT and SEAL organizations.

The official motto of the Seabees is "Construimus, Batuimus" - "We Build, We Fight."

The unofficial motto is even simpler: "Can Do!"
