"Sounds like a job for the SEALS"

This was, in fact, part of a plot line in one of Dick Marcinko's "Rogue Warrior" series of books. Marcinko was the first Commanding Officer of Seal Team Two and Six if I correctly recall.

Was a Plank Holder for Team #2 and the original Commander for Six and also commanded the first RED CELL team.

IIRC what I read in Rogue Warrior Marcinko started out as a UDT guy before there was any thought of the SEALs and their specialized missions as they performed in VietNam. I remember the first magazine article written about his exploits in 'Nam (Argos magazine?) where he got his infamous nicknames: THE SHARKMAN: "Demo Dick Marcinko!" Draw your own mental illustrations.
