A guy that owned a local gun shop near where I lived when I was growing up was a UDT ‘frogman’ during the Korean War. He was among the first SEAL members. He had some truly amazing stories to tell, but still never divulged MUCH information, only generalities.
My favorite was where he said that during the Cuban Missile Crisis, he and some others were sent to a resort in West Virginia. They were all wondering why in the hell they needed to be at a country club/resort in the mountains of WV. When they arrived, they found out what the place REALLY was. lol (they were to provide security should Kennedy need to go there)
He said they were told to show up in plain clothes, and ask for a certain room to the person working the front desk, and that prompted them to call someone who came and met them to take them where they needed to go. It was pretty cool. Don’t remember much else about it.
Every gun store in America has a former SEAL working behind the counter who “can’t talk about it.”

As a kid in the Fifties, I remember a movie about the Frogmen. Anyone recall that movie, and it’s name?
