CM_Undersea_Agent_3
Aquatic adventure was a popular genre in the 1960's, with television shows like "Sea Hunt" and "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea," in addition to a host of sea-faring comic heroes like Tower Comics' Undersea Agent, Davy Jones.

The "Undersea" acronym seemed a bit forced - United Nations Department of Experiment and Research Systems Established at Atlantis - but in a decade of rampant acronyms - SPECTRE, UNCLE, THRUSH, SHIELD, AIM, THUNDER, SPIDER, SWORD, WASP, etc. - I'm sure nobody cared. ;-)

Undersea Agent - Issue No. 3, June 1966.
