Most likely shot and killed and Navy is keeping it under wraps.
I agree...
Seals don’t drown.
WAY fishy story...
Actually this is quite possible, nearly happened to my brother when a wave smacked him while he was working his way up a ladder. Mangled his arm pretty good but he held on. Water, being very dense, is powerful.
If they were trying to clamber aboard an old dhow in foul weather I can see it happening. And if it happened at night in rough seas, even worse.
I would like to know what happened to that show, though, if it was carrying missiles to the Houthis from an Iranian port it should not have been allowed to go on its merry way, especially if part of the team is missing.
