Reference 133

The "Seabees" or "Seabees" were the units of the American Navy Engineers. Their name comes from the "Construction Battalions" CB. They worked on the installation of all the elements of the harbour, on the repair of damaged barges, especially after the storm, and they operated the causeways and the 20 "Rhinoferry" shuttle pontoons assigned to Omaha Beach.
