They really made their rep in WW2 in the Pacific... do some research - interesting stuff to be found.

They do some great work! Though some of it seems a bit... unworthy of their stature. Right now they're adding verniers to a stone wall at Naval Base San Diego. I remember walking by it every day wondering why they had the Seabees doing that instead of building bunkers or other cool stuff...

They are the Navy's version of what the Army calls Combat Engineers. They have a big job and huge reputations. Combat construction and destruction.
