In the early morning of May 1, 2011 local time, a team of 40 Navy SEALs successfully completed an operation to kill Osama Bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan. President Barack Obama later confirmed the death of Bin Laden, but did not directly mention the involvement of Navy SEALs, saying only that a "small team" of Americans undertook the operation to bring down Bin Laden.
當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間2011年5月1日凌晨，一支40人的海豹突擊小分隊(duì)，在巴基斯坦擊斃了基地組織頭號(hào)人物本拉登。雖然美國(guó)總統(tǒng)奧巴馬并沒(méi)有特別提到海豹突擊隊(duì)，只說(shuō)是“一小隊(duì)”美國(guó)人完成了這項(xiàng)任務(wù)，但各方消息確認(rèn)，這“一小隊(duì)人”正是世界上最為神秘、最具震懾力的特種作戰(zhàn)部隊(duì)——美國(guó)海豹突擊隊(duì)。作為世界十大特種部隊(duì)的領(lǐng)軍者之一，至今外界也很少有人知道海豹突擊隊(duì)會(huì)在什么地方出現(xiàn)，執(zhí)行什么任務(wù)，或是他們的基地在哪里，然而這支神秘的力量總是在國(guó)家最需要他們的時(shí)刻出現(xiàn)。

The United States Navy SEa, Air and Land (SEAL) Teams, commonly known as Navy SEALs, are the U.S. Navy's principal special operations force. The unit's acronym ("SEAL") is derived from their capacity to operate at sea, in the air, and on land – but it is their ability to work underwater that separates SEALs from most other military units in the world. The experience gained from operating in the ocean and freshwater battlefields has shaped their identity and, as a result, they are regarded as being amongst the most highly skilled and trained amphibious units in the world.
美國(guó)海軍海豹突擊隊(duì)，簡(jiǎn)稱(chēng)海豹突擊隊(duì)（Navy Seals），其中Seals是“Sea、Air、Land”即“海、空、陸”的簡(jiǎn)稱(chēng)，是美國(guó)海軍最主要的一支特種部隊(duì)。海豹突擊隊(duì)的名稱(chēng)來(lái)源于他們能夠海陸空三棲作戰(zhàn)，但真正將其區(qū)別于世界上其它部隊(duì)的是他們超強(qiáng)悍的水下戰(zhàn)斗力。無(wú)論是在深海還是潛水，水下作戰(zhàn)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)造就了如今的海豹突擊隊(duì)，他們被視為全球訓(xùn)練最嚴(yán)格、技術(shù)最精湛的作戰(zhàn)部隊(duì)。

Insignia 隊(duì)徽/配章

The Special Warfare insignia, also known as the “SEAL Trident”, or its more popular nickname, "The Budweiser," is one of the most recognizable military badges of the United States Navy.
海豹突擊隊(duì)的隊(duì)徽又稱(chēng)海豹三叉，由于隊(duì)徽很像某啤酒廠(chǎng)牌的標(biāo)簽，所以海豹隊(duì)員都戲稱(chēng)它為"百威徽章"，這是美國(guó)海軍中最具威望的一枚徽章。

The Special Warfare insignia consists of a golden eagle clutching a U.S. Navy anchor, trident, and flintlock style pistol.
海豹隊(duì)徽是由一只金色的老鷹，兩腳分別抓著槍與三戟叉，圍繞著海錨所組成。（海錨代表美國(guó)海軍，老鷹則代表美國(guó)自由的精神，槍象徵著捍衛(wèi)美國(guó)的堅(jiān)定信念，魚(yú)叉則代表海豹蛙人在海上戰(zhàn)斗的本能。）

Navy SEALs are trained and have been deployed in a wide variety of missions, including direct action and special reconnaissance operations, unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, hostage rescue, counter-terrorism and other missions.
