Flanked by two oceans, America's fortunes would rise and fall on the exploits of a strong navy, which suffered disasters, but stood undefeated at the end of the 20th century.

Examine how the Navy builds itself back up and battles the Axis.

Victories at the Battle of the Philippine Sea and Leyte Gulf crush the Japanese.

Small armored boats patrol Vietnam's rivers, while World War II-era battleships pound enemy positions. When the Vietnam War ends, the U.S. and Soviet Navies engage in an arms race of unprecedented size and cost.

An in-depth, behind-the-curtain look at one of the most elite fighting forces in the world. Part 1 takes us through the incredible history of the SEAL's predecessors in WWII and Korea--the underwater demolition teams that helped secure the beaches of Normandy and the Pacific--through their evolution into elite warriors, fighting in the jungles of Vietnam, the formation of SEAL Team 6, executing secret missions in Panama and Grenada, all the way up to 9-11-- the event that will change the way America fights wars.

Part 2 continues the evolution of the SEALs as they become the tip of America's spear in the War on Terror. They go from months and years in between missions to almost daily raids in Afghanistan and Iraq. the secret warriors also successfully execute high-profile missions like the rescue of Captain Phillips from pirates, the rescue of Jessica Buchanan in Somalia, and, of course, the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan.
