The Teams, as the SEALs refer to themselves, carried out a number of Search and Destroy operations during their time in Vietnam. These included Operation Charlestown (December 1966), which involved the location and destruction of VC wells in the Rung Sat Special Zone, Operation Crimson Tide (September 1967), which involved the SEALs acting as scouts during large unit operations, and Operation Bold Dragon III (March 1968), the destruction of Viet Cong bunkers and arms factory on Tanh Dinh island. SEALs also paid frequent visits to Haiphong Harbor, the main port of North Vietnam.
