This book is a detailed examination of the uniforms and equipment used by elite and specialist units of the United States Navy during the Second World War.

Collectors and history specialists will marvel at the breadth of previously unpublished texts and images covering such rarely treated subjects as pre-war landing parties, Seabees, Naval beach battalions, Naval Combat Demolition Units and Underwater Demolition Teams.

Obscure and little-known specialities are also highlighted, including the Scouts and Raiders, the Beach Jumpers, the Shore Fire Control Parties, the Hard-Hat Salvage Divers, and others.

Hundreds of rare and exceptional artefacts are presented alongside complete original uniforms staged in realistic settings, with precise descriptions of their wartime use.

Condensed unit histories of Seabee battalions, beach battalions, UDT teams and NCDU teams are also presented for the first time in a single volume.
