The Beginnings of the U.S. Navy Seabees: After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the United States entry into the war it was self-evident there was a need for a militarized Naval Construction Force to build advance bases in the war zone. Therefore, Rear Admiral Ben Moreell determined to activate, organize, and man Navy construction units; on 5 January 1942 he gained authority to recruit men from the construction trades for assignment to a Naval Construction Regiment composed of three Naval Construction Battalions. This is the actual beginning of the renowned Seabees, who obtained their designation from the initial letters of Construction Battalion ("C"-"Bs"). Admiral Moreell personally furnished them with their official motto: Construimus, Batuimus -- "We Build, We Fight."
