This article uses "Sea Dogs" as though it is a proper noun, and a formal organisation ("The Sea Dogs were a military branch..."). Is this accurate? I've always thought of the term as more of a colloqialism than an actual name.

The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
– There does not appear to be a primary topic for "Sea Dogs", so I suggest this natural disambiguation, since it is their
WP:COMMONNAME in history books. While I suggest moving the disambiguation to primary, I also suggest merging it with
seadog immediately afterwards, since they overlap.

Support per nomination. There are nine entries listed upon the
Sea Dogs (disambiguation) page, with no indication that the Elizabethan adventurers continue to maintain such a high historical profile as to overwhelm the combined notability of the remaining eight entries as well as prominence of the 14 bulleted entries listed upon the
Seadog disambiguation page with which this dab page may be arguably
WP:COMBINED as likewise proposed in the nomination. —

Use Elizabethan sea dogs. This doesn't appear to be a proper name, but an informal appellation and a general classifier, like "merchant marine" or "soldier of fortune". —
