Cobra Eels

Name: Cobra Eels
Group: Cobra, Cobra Naval Team
First Released: 1985

Eels are the underwater demolition specialists of the COBRA legions. They man and operate the COBRA marine outposts disguised as off-shore drilling rigs and augment the crews of larger COBRA naval vessels.

Eels undergo a rigorous two-part training program in the warm shark and pirate-infested waters of the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean and in the frigid dark depths of the North Atlantic. Their training regimen includes marine structural engineering, explosive ordnance, underwater fighting techniques, and marine geology.

Cobra's Eels have some of the most rigorous training for underwater specialists. They are trained to operate in almost every aquatic environment, from shallow basins to lakes to shark-infested waters and even the frigid depths of the polar regions. In addition to the physical aspect of their training, they are expected to learn marine structural engineering and marine geology. Add ordnance training and underwater combat and you have some of the most effective underwater demolition experts. When they're not on assignment, Eels serve on marine outposts and also augment personnel on Cobra naval vessels.

Eels was first released as part of the fourth series (1985). He was also available in 1986 and was discontinued in 1987.
