The only thing that might make sense, and I consider it a long shot to be honest, might be some unforeseen current that possibly grabbed them.

The report does state one SEAL got knocked off by high waves and a teammate went in after him. But it still sounds off for sure.

There’s no info about other USN personnel onboard.
12 pirates were onboard, so they clearly weren’t left alone.
