A look at the United States Naval Construction Battalions of the Second World War, which built all the infrastructure for the Allies in Europe and the Pacific. The Seabees were construction workers by trade, but also had to fight at times. Their motto was 'We Build, We Fight,' and their biggest test came in the battle for Iwo Jima in 1945. Narrated by Jim Nantz
