Frogmen

.







France has a large commando frogman tradition. Jacques-Yves Cousteau was a naval officer in World War II and helped much to set up France's commando frogmen. France further developed the role of commando frogmen in the First Indochina War.
Since the 1950s, the commando frogmen of the French Navy are brought together in the Commando Hubert, the only Commando marine having combat swimmers. They operate from the ship Le Malin, and this is a very elite special forces unit.
