Explanation:
Im Deutschen gibt es Kampfschwimmer und allgemeiner Waffentaucher. So weit ich weiss gibt es keine Deutsche Einheit deren Hauptaufgabe Zerstörun ist (Minentauchern machen eher das genaue Gegenteil). Die ältere un nicht mehr verwendete Bezeichnung Froschmänner könnte hier vielleicht passen.
