Fans of Washington DC’s Omni Shoreham Hotel<\/a> know that the hotel, built in 1930, has been host to multiple presidents, heads of state, celebrities and more. Most famously, the hotel was the landing place for the Beatles<\/a> when they first visited the United States back in 1964.<\/p>\n\n

\"Hollywood
Hollywood dentist Jack Taylor, then a lieutenant commander, was a lifelong adventurer,
\nexpert swimmer, sailor, pilot and-arguably\u2014the first SEAL. Taylor did it all\u2014Sea, Air, and Land operations- swimming above and below the water and parachuting behind enemy lines into Austria.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

But historians also agree the hotel was also part of a pivotal moment in the nation’s military history: the Navy SEALs were spawned at the Omni Shoreham Hotel.<\/p>\n

Best selling author and combat historian Patrick K. O’Donnell wrote, “The Empire Room played a crucial role in the birth of the U.S. Navy SEALs and history of America’s special operations forces.”<\/p>\n

In November 2016 the hotel is planning a ceremony and plaque dedication in the Empire Ballroom (where the pool was formerly located) on the 74th anniversary of the Navy SEALs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prologue from Patrick K. O’Donnell’s First Seals<\/a><\/em>:<\/h2>\n

\"cover_3d\"At the intersection of Connecticut Avenue and Calvert Street in Washington, D.C., stands the well-appointed Shoreham Hotel. Built in 1930, the impressive art deco structure boasts 832 luxurious guest rooms, several elegantly furnished ballrooms, high-ceilinged dining rooms, and a sumptuous lobby illuminated by a host of glittering chandeliers. The hotel features nearly every amenity a discerning traveler or even a president could desire. At the behest of Franklin D. Roosevelt\u2019s staff, the hotel quietly added a special ramp and elevator to accommodate the president\u2019s wheelchair, allowing the Shoreham to serve as the venue for FDR\u2019s first inaugural ball and host inauguration galas for every subsequent president throughout the twentieth century.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Shoreham has had more guests and hosted more functions than history has recorded, but on the evening of November 18, 1942, a small group of men gathered at the hotel to engage in an activity that would directly and substantially influence the evolution of America\u2019s military. They came not to stay in one of the suites or to eat in the dining room or even to relax with a drink in one of its lobbies. Instead, they gathered around the hotel\u2019s expansive indoor pool, which at the time was one of the largest in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

On that cold November night, Jack Taylor was gearing up for the evening\u2019s demonstration while guards posted at the pool doors turned away any guests who came down to enjoy a swim. A renowned Hollywood dentist, Taylor put his livelihood on hold during World War II to serve his country. He was an avid swimmer and lifelong adventurer who had a penchant for racing yachts, sailing solo halfway around the world, and flying airplanes. An ultimate survivor, he once escaped from an Alaska gold mine after being trapped for two days following an earthquake. After Pearl Harbor, Taylor volunteered for the U.S. Navy, which initially relegated him to a dull dental position on a ship. Later, the highly secretive Office of Strategic Services (OSS) sought to recruit him, and Jack enthusiastically volunteered to join its ranks.<\/p>\n\n

\"OSS
OSS Combat swimmers trained for a variety of missions, including underwater sabotage byplanting limpet mines on the hulls of enemy ships. True visionaries, the Maritime Unit saw the possibilities of parachuting teams to an underwater target, much like today\u2019s SEALs, putting them decades ahead of their time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

This swim was unlike any other in Taylor\u2019s lifetime. He dipped his toes into the 60-plus degree water and put on a face mask, carefully checking the hoses and buckles of the newly invented Lambertsen Amphibious Respiratory Unit (LARU), a breakthrough underwater breathing device that was a precursor to SCUBA (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus). Initially constructed in the inventor\u2019s garage from an old World War I gas mask and a bicycle pump, the LARU was the first closed-circuit rebreathing device that would be used in American military underwater operations. That night at the Shoreham pool, America would finally have a device that would enable it to compete with the Axis powers\u2019 much more advanced and sophisticated underwater military operations. The LARU provided the technology America needed to pioneer the formation of an elite and highly effective American commando unit that would ultimately do it all: sea, air, and land operations.<\/p>\n

Taylor secured the oxygen tank and scrubber, then plunged into the pool. The water enveloped his body as he remained submerged, breathing with the assistance of the LARU, swimming one lap after another. Normally exhalation underwater would cause a stream of air bubbles\u2014a telltale trace that could reveal the presence of any diver. Any sign of bubbles remained absent as Taylor\u2019s audience watched him swim without coming up for air.<\/p>\n

The small retinue of men present for the testing included the device\u2019s inventor, twenty-five-year-old Christian Lambertsen, a medical student. In the coming months, Lambertsen would covertly engage in testing and development of the LARU, traveling back and forth to Washington, D.C., from Philadelphia, where he attended the University of Pennsylvania\u2019s Medical School. Sworn to secrecy, he couldn\u2019t tell anyone\u2014not even the school dean\u2014the true reason for his trips.<\/p>\n

Standing next to Lambertsen was British officer Commander H. G. A. Woolley of the Royal Navy, on loan to the OSS. Recently Woolley had been serving on the personal staff of the British Chief of Combined Operations and the British Joint Staff Mission in Washington, D.C. General William J. Donovan personally chose him to \u201cassist in the study of British methods of training operatives and raiding forces.\u201d Prior to the war, Woolley lived in Hollywood, where he was a successful scriptwriter for several major studios. It is likely Taylor and Wooley ran in the same circles and were friends before the war. The bearded World War I veteran possessed the dynamic transformative leadership capabilities that could take an idea and develop it into a new form of warfare. With very few resources, he quickly built a new organization that would reshape intelligence gathering and warfare for generations to come.<\/p>\n

On that cold November night, Taylor, Woolley, and Lambertsen made history. Their successful experiment in the Shoreham\u2019s pool spawned the beginnings of one of America\u2019s most elite military units\u2014the U.S. Navy SEALs.<\/p>\n\n
