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.
当地时间2011年5月1日凌晨，一支40人的海豹突击小分队，在巴基斯坦击毙了基地组织头号人物本拉登。虽然美国总统奥巴马并没有特别提到海豹突击队，只说是“一小队”美国人完成了这项任务，但各方消息确认，这“一小队人”正是世界上最为神秘、最具震慑力的特种作战部队——美国海豹突击队。作为世界十大特种部队的领军者之一，至今外界也很少有人知道海豹突击队会在什么地方出现，执行什么任务，或是他们的基地在哪里，然而这支神秘的力量总是在国家最需要他们的时刻出现。
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.
美国海军海豹突击队，简称海豹突击队（Navy Seals），其中Seals是“Sea、Air、Land”即“海、空、陆”的简称，是美国海军最主要的一支特种部队。海豹突击队的名称来源于他们能够海陆空三栖作战，但真正将其区别于世界上其它部队的是他们超强悍的水下战斗力。无论是在深海还是潜水，水下作战的经验造就了如今的海豹突击队，他们被视为全球训练最严格、技术最精湛的作战部队。
