History UsefulNotes / NavySEALs

-->I am the only professional wrestler who can legitimately say he was a Navy SEAL. Now you know you people are gonna see a lot of frogs out there, you're gonna see a lot of Navy SEAL wannabes, people who wanna pretend they were, but really were not. I AM the real deal when it comes to being a pro wrestler and former Navy SEAL. I also climbed the rope ladder a week ago on board the USS Pearl Harbor - I was given eight bells and a salute from both the Captain and the Executive Officer.

* TrainingFromHell: Only 25-30% of recruits get through SEAL training successfully. The rest are either rolled out because it gets too much and they cannot continue, or they quit. Most likely during "Hell Week" where they get maybe three hours sleep over five days of constant torture.

* ''Film/ZeroDarkThirty'' climaxes with the real life killing of OsamaBinLaden by Seal Team Six.

* The CIA in ''Manga/{{Jormungand}}'' requests the deployment of the "Night Nine" a.k.a. SEAL Team 9 to eliminate Koko Hekmatyar's HCLI crew late in the second season. [[note]]It should be noted that SEAL Team 9 is fictional; the actual SEAL teams that exist in reality are 1-5, 7, 8, and 10 (Team Six is officially known as "DEVGRU").[[/note]] [[spoiler: They are the only enemies that take zero casualties against HCLI, and the only reason HCLI survives is because Koko uses her quantum computer to screw with Team 9's GPS and send them in the wrong direction.]]

* One of the units available in ''CommandAndConquer RedAlert2''. Elites who wipe out enemy soldiers, can swim and blow up buildings.

* The modern MedalOfHonor games focused on the absolute cream of the crop special forces such as Tier 1 including SEALS as well as Team Six. Several members were actually caught out advising on uniforms and tactics, and docked several month's pay.

* ''Comicbook/ThePunisher'': Frank Castle is depicted as a [[SemperFi Marine]] whenever he appears, however in most if not all of his works it’s also noted he trained with SEALS to become deadlier.

* Obviously, Sony's ''SOCOMUSNavySeals'' series.

* ''ZeroDarkThirty''

* WorldWarTwo: After the bombing of Pearl Harbor America saw the need for coastal reconnaissance and beach landing forces. Thus, the team known as the Scouts & Raiders were born where they operated in Europe and Africa where they supported the invading Americans against the German forces including the Normandy invasion. At the same time, the Navy Combat Demolition Units would blow up beach obstacles preceding a landing.

* The Navy Seal is the Americans' special unit in ''{{Civilization}} IV''

* Surprisingly averted for most of the ''CallOfDuty'' and ''ModernWarfare'' series. The [=SEALs=] don't show up onscreen until ''ModernWarfare 2'' (where their slogan provides a level name), and you don't play one until ''CallOfDutyBlackOps 2''.

* Sam Axe in ''Series/BurnNotice'' is a retired SEAL (played by none other than Creator/BruceCampbell). This shows in his general attitude: he might be an overweight womanizing boozer, but then as a retired SEAL he has every right to be overweight and drink (and as for the womanizing--look at the page image caption!), and he is definitely the most by-the-book member of Team Westen (Michael having been a [[TheCIA CIA]] field agent and Fiona having been an [[TheTroubles IRA]] operative/weapons expert, Sam is the most likely to appeal to reason and law--as befits a true military man).

* [[FalseFlagOperation Red Cell:]]

* CharlieSheen’s movie ''Navy SEALS'' has a reporter who has contacts among terrorists but refuses to divulge information to Michael Biehn's character about captured US helicopter pilots. He takes her into a kill house (where the teams practice fighting inside buildings) and has a team actually engage around them, to give the reporter an idea of how it feels being helpless around a bunch of armed attackers, to get her to divulge the information needed to rescue the captured US personnel.

* WorldWarTwo:

* UndyingLoyalty: They say a natural bond develops between men who are forced to share hellish experiences together, where they are forced to rely upon one another or else they die. When you crank those hellish experiences up to 11 then you get the Navy SEALS.

* BadassCrew

* DrillSergeantNasty: SEAL instructors are not assholes like the media depicts military trainers, but they teach survival escape and evasion tactics playing the part of the enemy in case SEALS are captured so they have an idea of what to expect, then they get real nasty. Constant hazing, sabotaging trainees equipment until they get the idea to post guards, shooting at them, running through explosives, keeping them awake, or forcing those who are slow to exercise until they either collapse or quit. [[SubvertedTrope They are not assholes in doing this, those who do not quit no matter how much they struggle are held in high regard by the instructors and considered the best in the world, even more so than those who do well.]]

* CharlieSheen’s movie Navy SEALS has a reporter wanting to do a story on them, so as their commander Sheen leads her into a kill house for an interview only for his team to storm in and shoot the targets inches from her to show how good they are.
* Film/TheRock had actual SEALS perform the diving scenes as well as part of the team sent against the renegade Marines.

* RogueWarrior is the autobiography of Richard Marcinko, Commander of SEAL Team Two and creator and Commander of Team Six. He turned it into a franchise of fictional stories based on his experience, RealLife self help books and even a video game.

* When ElizaDushku is hit on and asked out on a date when she plays an FBI agent in TheBigBangTheory, she asks if her Navy SEAL husband is also invited. Dushku is known for playing Faith in Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer, Echo in {{Dollhouse}} and Rubi in {{Wet}}, in other words badasses. So she’s matched up with the ultimate BadAss for one hell of a cockblock.

* One of the units available in CommandAndConquer RedAlert2. Elites who wipe out enemy soldiers, can swim and blow up buildings.
