The Frogman Corps is a little-known but highly skilled unit.
The Frogman Corps, which are equivalent to the US Navy Seals, were shown to be effective in the Atlantic Ocean at the end of the year.
In November, the Esbern Snare was conducting an anti-piracy patrol in the Gulf of Guinea south of Nigeria when it received reports of suspicious activity nearby.
A small motorboat with nine men on board was found by the Danes in the area of concern.
Operators are training with a boat.
The Esbern Snare deployed its contingent of Frogmen on inflatable boats to interdict the motorboat after positively identifying the men as pirates.
After closing in, the Danes ordered the pirates to stop and then fired warning shots so that the special operators could board the motorboat.
Four pirates were killed and one was wounded when the Danes returned fire. The pirates were taken aboard Esbern Snare after the motorboat sank.
One of the world's least-known special-operations units was in action.
A few.

The Frogman Crops selection and operator training course is one of the best in the world with a high attrition rate.
Only a few of the 500 to 600 applicants who volunteer for the course each year make it to the Frogmen. There have been less than 400 Frogmen since the unit's inception in the late 1950s.
The US Navy Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL and the UK Special Boat Service training and selection processes are what lead to becoming a naval commando.

Operators break the surface during training.
The Frogman Corps is responsible for several different mission sets, including maritime counterterrorism, special reconnaissance, underwater unconventional warfare, direct action, close protection, and visit, board, search, and seizure.
The anti-piracy operations of the Danes have developed a reputation. The Frogmen captured a merchant vessel in 2010.
As a NATO member, Danes get to work closely with US special-operations units, often participating in joint exercises with Army Green Berets, Air Commandos, Navy SEALs, and Navy Special Warfare Combatant-Craft operators.
The students from Frmandskorpset conduct helocast training in September 2020.
The Frogmen are top-class combat divers and we train with them often. A retired Army Green Beret told Insider that they are a small community, but they are tough, and young Green Beret combat divers always learn new things from them.
The Frogmen attend the US Army Airborne School, Army Ranger School, and Special Forces Underwater Operations School.
Special-operations units from the Danes fought in Afghanistan and developed a reputation for professionalism, discipline, and tactical effectiveness.
Excellent ancestors.

The Frogman Corps was created in 1957 and is based on the British units that fought the Germans and Italians in North Africa and Europe.
The Special Air Service was created by a British officer in 1941 to conduct unconventional warfare behind the lines in North Africa.
The British military decided to develop a maritime version of the SAS because the unit was so effective that it had destroyed more German and Italian aircraft on the ground than the Royal Air Force.
The Royal Navy was persuaded to create a special-operations unit in 1940 by another British officer who had promoted the idea a year earlier.
