Seabee Birthday

The first Seabee unit was known as “the Bobcats” and Seabees were among the very first to land during the WW II invasion of Normandy. Seabee is an abbreviation of the name United States Naval Construction Battalions. “Seabee” comes from abbreviating “Construction Battalions” to C.B. and a bit of Navy-speak provides the spelling as “Seabee.”
