I've been reading a history of the SEALs, and learned that the principal purpose of starting the UDTs was to recon and clear beaches prior to invasions in WWII. This still is a core mission of the SEALs, although apparently they are focused on other tasks at the moment.

Sounds like SF water teams are not trying to duplicate that capability, and are focused more on water infils.
