I still don't understand why this happened. I heard and read reports about the boat losing power and drifting into Iranian waters. I also read that it strayed into what Iran claims as their waters while under power and they were surrounded by Iranian boats.

Anyone really know what happened? As you can see by their fatigues and haircuts, they were obviously trained for close combat and not your typical Boatswains Mates. Were they even from a ship or a shore installation? I've Googled, but get conflicting reports.
