US Navy Seabees Challenge Coin – We Build, We Fight

About This Coin

A proud tribute to the United States Navy Seabees — the legendary Naval Construction Battalions. The obverse features the iconic Seabee mascot armed with tools and a rifle over the Seabees emblem, surrounded by the chain border and motto “We Build, We Fight.” The reverse bears the full Seabees Creed: “With Willing Hearts and Skillful Hands, The Difficult We Do At Once, The Impossible Takes A Bit Longer.” Antique gold finish with vivid color enamel. Uncirculated collector grade.

A Brief History of the Seabees

The Naval Construction Battalions (Seabees) were established on March 5, 1942, just months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Their name comes from the initials “CB” for Construction Battalion. During World War II, Seabees built over 400 advanced bases and constructed airstrips, bridges, roads, and warehouses across the Pacific and Atlantic theaters — often under enemy fire. Their motto, “We Build, We Fight,” perfectly captures their dual role as both skilled tradesmen and combat-ready sailors. Today, the Seabees continue to serve around the world, providing critical construction and engineering support in both peacetime and combat operations.
