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.
當地時間2011年5月1日凌晨，一支40人的海豹突擊小分隊，在巴基斯坦擊斃了基地組織頭號人物本拉登。雖然美國總統奧巴馬并沒有特別提到海豹突擊隊，只說是“一小隊”美國人完成了這項任務，但各方消息確認，這“一小隊人”正是世界上最為神秘、最具震懾力的特種作戰部隊——美國海豹突擊隊。作為世界十大特種部隊的領軍者之一，至今外界也很少有人知道海豹突擊隊會在什么地方出現，執行什么任務，或是他們的基地在哪里，然而這支神秘的力量總是在國家最需要他們的時刻出現。
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.
美國海軍海豹突擊隊，簡稱海豹突擊隊（Navy Seals），其中Seals是“Sea、Air、Land”即“海、空、陸”的簡稱，是美國海軍最主要的一支特種部隊。海豹突擊隊的名稱來源于他們能夠海陸空三棲作戰，但真正將其區別于世界上其它部隊的是他們超強悍的水下戰斗力。無論是在深海還是潛水，水下作戰的經驗造就了如今的海豹突擊隊，他們被視為全球訓練最嚴格、技術最精湛的作戰部隊。
