By Jeff Zevely, Reporter

(CBS 8) - San Diego's military community is celebrating the work of the specially trained SEALs that took bin Laden down.

Navy SEAL "Team Six" stormed a secret compound in Pakistan in an operation that lasted 40 minutes.

However, long before that special mission, the team's basic training started at the Coronado navy base.

News eight's Jeff Zevely files this video report from San Diego Bay with more on the SEALs.
