They are equal.
Each branch of the armed forces has its own special forces units. In all cases, the units are extremely well trained for the missions that they are designed to accomplish. They are not expected to be able to do the same things, so it would not make sense to try and compare the two types of units.

∙ 13y agoHard to tell they deal with different situations. The Navy Seals are more like the British commando's. But are all very elite special forces units, the important thing is that they'll all get the job done.
Navy seals are better than no S.A.S. British invented both S.A.S. and the Navy. British S.A.S. also train Navy seals, Delta and Australian S.A.S. also help train over 20 countries around world as British S.A.S. are the most copied/based on in the world.
If you look at the Vietnam War both Navy Seals & Australian . S.A.S. took part, the Australian S.A.S. had a higher kill rate. So i would go with Australian S.A.S. Also if you look at casualty rate the Australian S.A.S. had 3 casualties (2 wounded, 1 M.I.A.) were has the Navy Seals had much more than that.
Also training, the SAS both British and Australian is the hardest most mentally and physically weakening and straining training in the world.

What is the military unit SBS?
The Special Boat Service of the Royal Navy. Basically the British Navy SEALs.
Who receives more training the british sbs or US Navy seals?
I think your question is incomplete. But if you are comparing a person who has only been to army basic training and a trained navy SEAL. The answer is obvious. If you want to open the box of worms ask who is better trained a Navy SEAL or an Army Ranger or Special Forces.
What are Britain's equivalent of Navy SEALs?
The United Kingdom's equivalent of Navy SEALs can be considered as the Special Boat Service (SBS). The SBS is a Special Forces unit of the British Royal Navy and its primary role is maritime counter-terrorism, special reconnaissance, and unconventional warfare. Like the Navy SEALs, they undergo rigorous training and are highly capable in both land and maritime operations.
Can you be English and join the navy seals?
(Gonna guess you mean British)No you can't, you have to be a US citizen. If you're interested in joining Special Forces in you're country look into the SAS and SBS.
Who's better sas or sbs?
The SBS are the navy's equivalent of the army's SAS (special air service regiment)they undergo exactly the same scheme of selection as the SAS, but continue long after with maritime training until they are accepted into the SBS.In my opinion this would make them better trained.The SBS also tend to have a higher level of fitness. How fit do you have to be to burst into a room and rescue hostages (SAS) compared to swimming a mile in rough seas at night to climb up an oil rig and rescue hostages (SBS)?In my opinion the SBS are better, but that doesn't mean I'm calling the SAS crap.
Could you name out a few special forces in a few countries?
US - Army Rangers, Army Special Forces, Delta/ACE, Navy SEALs, Navy SWCC, MARSOC, Air Force Special Tactics -Pararescue, Combat Controllers UK - SAS, SBS Germany - KSK Canada - JTF-2, Special Operations Regiment
Can you join the SBS after being in the navy?
Special Boat Service is the united kingdom special forces which means if you serve in the US Navy/Army etc, you would not be eligible unless you are in the united kingdom Navy/Army etc.

Are British SAS more elite than seal team six?
Well the Army Rangers were around during the American Revolutionary War. They were sniping Limey Brits from tree tops and conducting operations that were behind enemy lines. At the time, they could be considered special forces. The Green Berets are very Elite. I would compare them to the SAS. It's hard to say who is better. The SAS are good but not the best. Over the past 5 years, 11 SAS troops have been captured in Iraq, Syria, and Libya. The capture in Libya came as a real shocker because they were captured by armed peasant farmers. Also, last year, SAS troops screwed up their mission in Africa and had their hostages killed. The SAS has a long list of other screw ups as well. However, US special forces have had screw ups too. Its a subjective thing now because I was unaware that there was an international set of standards that graded special operations forces. No opinion is proof. However, I can tell you this. US Special forces shoot off more practice ammo yearly than the entire British, German, and French armed forces combined. Also, US Special Forces Commands get more funding than the British Army and Royal Air Force combined. I would also say US Special Forces are more capable. They can send in a unit trained at that task. Whereas the British would have to send in the SAS or SBS because they don't have special forces command that's versitle. SBS and SAS are versitle but not the best at everything. SBS is better at sea than the SAS. SAS is better in the mountains than the SBS and vice versa. US Navy Seals are better in the water than the SAS. And SAS are better at the mountains than the Navy Seals. I would say the CIA has the best special forces in the World. Black opps is no joke and they're the best of the best. Then they have to go through more training that the best of the best already went through. You also have to be asked to join black opps. You can sign up for the SAS, not the black opps.
What is the best special force in the military?
1. British SAS and SBS 2. Navy SEALs 3. Israeli Commando 4. Delta Force 5. US Rangers 6. Russian Spetsnaz 7. Royal Marines 8. US Marines 9. North Korea Special Forces 10. South Korean Marines.
