Wow, I feel honored to have actually contributed something to this thread that hasn't been discussed before!

This is what I think, as well.

YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Depth Charge
Then again what is Deep-Six? He's listed as UDT on at least one filecard.
YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Deep Six
Look closer, LC - his Primary is listed as Master Diver, which is one of the ratings listed under Navy Diver. His Secondary is Underwater Demolitions
Instructor
(not UDT), which also fits with the Navy Diver job description because they are often used to teach underwater demolitions to SEALs and Recon Marines (see Troy's quote below).

I don't think Depth Charge and Deep Six should be SEaLs. For some reason neither one strikes me as a SEaL.
I think they are Navy Divers
United States Navy Diver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The operational parameters include:
"Navy Divers serve at several diving platform types including; Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC), Navy Special Operations/Special Warfare commands, Marine Corps dive teams, rescue/salvage and repair diving detachments, saturation diving commands and diving research/development to name a few. Some of the mission areas of the Navy Diver include; deep sea underwater salvage, harbor clearance operations, in-water ship/submarine repair,
demolition operations
, submarine rescue, SEAL Delivery Vehicle deployment/recovery, saturation diving, experimental diving, underwater construction/welding as well as serving as diving technical experts at SEAL/Marine Corps/and
United States Navy EOD diving commands
."
They are part of the Navy's Special Operations.
I'm not sure how it is that I always mistook Deep-Six for a SEAL. I guess I just figured he was a SEAL that specialized in deeper dives - LOL. I agree that it makes more sense for him to be used as a Navy Diver. Because I held the wrong idea for 25+ years, I don't know if my mind will ever properly disassociate him from the other SEALs on the team, but it would actually
fit
with his reputation as a loner. He'll be included in my diorama, but he'll be stand-offish from the rest of the group. On the other hand, I think Depth Charge
should
be added in with the other SEALs. When you read his filecard, the first sentence about hydrographic reconnaissance just screams "SEAL" to me, as do the last two sentences.
