There are more Tier 1 operators than SEAL Team Six and Delta. But Team Six really likes headlines, much to the disapproval of the other Operators.
Most Delta guys don't talk much but they do get a lot of attention.

I was working in Yellowstone, and my buddy introduced me to a guy he met. Dude was snapping pictures and fell over a boulder. Buddy helped him up and they became friends. We all partied at the employee cantina (I was too young, but it was Wyoming in 1984, so, eh) Stranger dude was super cool, played guitar, and was hitting on a super-hot chick named CJ. Later we all adjourned around midnight to the overlook at the Lower falls of the Yellowstone to smoke some skunk-weed.
Dude was the son of Saul Zaentz. He told me about the film his Dad produced. Amadeus. Seriously, though, he was genuinely cool as hell. And I am pretty sure he scored with CJ.

There WERE just two SEAL teams, one West Coast and one East. Seal Team Six is the Development Group (DEVGRU) that was the real speartip who developed tactics to spread through the rest of the SEAL community. Team Six got all the hairy missions.
I don't know how many Teams there actually are now but they expanded, and contracted, during GWOT.

BREAKING: Declassified FBI docs expose the malfeasance of Judge Boasberg who offered dirty FBI agent Kevin Clinesmith the excuse he was just innocently taking a "short-cut" to save time when he changed the wording in a CIA email that would have exculpated Trump adviser Carter Page b/c the new docs show Clinesmith also w/h exculpatory evidence on another Trump aide--Walid Phares--proving such corrupt behavior was his M.O., not a one-off, as Boasberg made it seem.
Boasberg gave Clinesmith, a fellow Democrat, no jail-time for his felony. Clinesmith's back practicing law, and Boasberg is still on the bench.

Bull sharks scare me much more than Great Whites or Makos. They are psychos that will chase you right up to the shore. Evil creatures.

That prompted me to look this up, and as I suspected, my eyes began to glaze over. Some aspects of military nomenclature and hierarchy makes sense to me, and some don't and I get all confusitated. May be because I'm getting to be 29.
Anyway, it comes from the Alpha, Bravo, Charlie series, A, B, C, D. But in a convoluted way.
You've got your basic platoon, company, battalion, regiment/brigade/group whatever hierarchy, and that gets sort of complex. I don't think regiments really exist as operational units, but I'm not sure.
At any rate, Army Special Forces, the whole, is a division sized unit. On a chart, that is divided into Groups, but they use a regiment symbol (III). Each regiment is divided into battalions. Now, they divide the battalions into C, B, and A "teams". This is where A-team comes from. The A-team is a small operational group. The B team is the company HQ, and the C-team is the battalion HQ.
Somehow Delta force got called the "D team", or SFOD-D, supposedly to obfuscate a bit, and make it look like some normal additional "team" level or something.

Peace Officers go patrolling and roust it wherever and whenever they can, demand its ID without any reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime, then arrest, beat, tase, and pepper spray it for resisting for asking what it did wrong.

Much like SEAL Team 6, they sit outside the normal chain hierarchy... mainly because their missions are often so classified they wanted to disguise what they were...

Jets or jet skis don't usually hunt you. A Bull Shark will.
If they are around it's best to not be in the water.
