    Made in 1957, this amazing U.S. Navy film showcases the pre-cursors to the SEALs, the UDTs or Underwater Demolition Teams. Underwater Demolition Teams (UDT) conducted beach reconnaissance, cable and net cutting, explosive destruction of underwater obstacles for amphibious landings, limpet mine attacks, submarine operations, and the locating and marking of mines for minesweepers. They also conducted river surveys and foreign military training. While doing this, the UDTs pioneered combat swimming, closed-circuit diving, underwater demolitions, and midget submarine (dry and wet submersible) operations. Many of these capabilities are shown in this film, which likely inspired Hollywood to create ""Sea Hunt"" and might have been fodder for Ian Fleming as well. An especially interesting segment shows UDTs deploying from a submerged GUPPY-class submarine, a strategy they famously employed during the Korean War to raid enemy railways.

    My grandfather Bruno Rettig was a frogman in the Korean War, he passed away last year at 89... he was one of the best men I have ever known and I miss him very much.

    My grandpa was a navy frogman in WW2. Never was able to get him to talk about the war, only thing he ever said was all he would be dropped off in the middle of the ocean and swim to your target, had to meet up with the ship again after and if you were late getting there they'd assume you were captured and leave you there.

      My Dad was one too. No clue what he did, he wouldn't talk much about it either. He had a scar on his arm from a barracuda strike, taught me to swim before I could walk. He said this movie was the closest he'd seen depicting how it really was.

    The UDT mission was an amphibious support mission, primarily. Thats what the eighties era SEAL recruiting literature claimed. To me, the closest thing to the UDT are the current SEAL SDV TEAMs. I talked to an SDV TEAM guy who was a Dive Motivator at Great Lakes NTC in the early nineties and he was cool. Tried to get me to come up to get interviewed. I declined because I had a left knee and left ankle injury. But I wanted to go talk to him and get interviewed. SDV TEAMs to me are like old school UDT frogmen on steroids, with some REALLY cool and expensive, unique equipment.

    My uncle is a survivor of the navy frogmen class 😊and he is not someone who you would want hunting you down from the swamp to the jungle they have done something that I could never share with you or anyone else but he might not be in perfect shape but I remember the time he had shared small detail with me the thing is he has Took the oath to never talk about his mission and so even though he doesn’t share much with me it’s very apparent that he’s done stuff that he doesn’t want to share with us and that is okay but I made a mistake once I washed his coffee cup and he said that they would have kicked the shit out of me for doing something like that 😮he shared a real story about someone else who was playing around during training days and they were making it harder on the men in the group because he didn’t want to do what he was told by the instructor so they would make it difficult on the men so one night they woke him up and they beat him down with soap that was in there socks so I know that don’t sound good but he really had it coming why did you expect them to do that just what they did so he not a easy guy to get to know but neither I’m always going to wonder what kind of stuff he was in-charge of doing but I would never push him to tell me what he did he spoke about someone who he was targeting in the jungle and there job was to gather intelligence about the subject and only once they had wore they given permission to delete the target and they didn’t use anything like they did today this video is a demonstration of what they might have done with the story that I have hear that not entirely true just what us The civilians need to know and that is all so if you ever think that are old and they wouldn’t be able to hurt me your lieing two yourself because they have the necessary skills to remove us from existence so don’t mess with them

      U. S. Army Ranger School. You remember having to build a raft to go scout an island? SEALs: Some of us attended and graduated from Ranger School. We told the instuctors that we did not need: "No stinkin Raft" we can swim over there and do it.
      Did you get plenty to eat when you went through Ranger School? We ate a lot of AIR PIE.
