I just heard an old Navy guy call Levin & say it’s next to impossible for those ships to

They could have lost power, and the current and wind carried them to a shore.

"Pentagon officials told the Associated Press the two boats drifted into Iranian waters after facing mechanical problems." The Guardian this morning.
