So the Navy specwar guys like swcc seals diver and so on. Do they chill on seagoing carriers if not on a mission? Or would they stay on base until they are sent out?

  1. Navy specwar are in a way like Marines in that you will find units (large and small) assigned to specific naval stations, but deployed almost anywhere. Just like Marines would be a part of an MEF but possibly deployed by ship or attached to a ship that is deployed, specwar teams are usually based aboard naval stations throughout the country but then deployed via ship to augment or compliment sailors and marines all over the world. Specwar operators are usually not assigned to a ship, but if that ship performs duties that call for specwar personnel, specwar operators may be 'delivered' to that ship. Marine units on the other hand, may be assigned to a ship in cases where they provide specific security aboard that ship (ie Fleet Marine Force) Those guys are semipermanent. Seals aboard a nuclear submarine however, are not semipermanent; they are just along for the ride. Some carriers may bring along seals or special boats on their deployment, but those personnel are not semipermanent like the squadrons aboard are. They are only there for that deployment or that particular exercise and in many cases they are just getting a ride for reasons totally unrelated to that carrier or fleet's mission.  Divers are another thing. I don't really know the deal with divers. Some ships probably have a dive team specifically for that ship.


  2. the navy is an water and land combat machine which they usually go where there is lots of water and its cold water to boot


  3. all i know about is SEALs when their not on a mission they train and different teams are stationed in different areas SEAL Teams 1,3,5,7 are West Coast and Teams 2,4,6,8,10 are East Coast. their on both land and sea
