The United States Naval Construction Battalions, famously known as the Seabees (a play on the initials "CB"), were established on March 5, 1942, under the leadership of Rear Admiral Ben Moreell. Created to replace civilian contractors who could not legally defend themselves under international law, the Seabees were unique as combat-trained construction workers capable of building and defending vital infrastructure. Their official motto is "Construimus, Batuimus" ("We Build, We Fight"), while their legendary informal slogan is "Can Do".
