I received this as an e-mail. I did a quick search and did not find this information.
Accurate? I do not know but it seems very likely that this is the way it went down.

Accurate? I do not know but it seems very likely that this is the way it went down.These anonymous novels always leave telltale clues.
Notably, when I was first training at USNA in 1955,
There's one big clue as to how "close to the story" the writer was.

It’s bogus. There’s none of that “forward it to at least ten others if you care about your country” crap.

Cool story but fake. How did he get what would be classified information which is also intel?
Still a cool story.

I think this article is as true as any story in the NY Times from “unnamed” sources “speaking under terms of anonymity”.......

Other members of the crew opened the drain cocks on the pirates boat and cast it adrift. It foundered and sunk. How did this happen?

The pirates agreed, and BAINBRIDGE took them under tow in their wake at 30 meters-- exactly 30 meters, which is exactly the distance the SEALs practice their shooting skills. This is also information the bad guys can use.
The Captain went and profusely thanked everyone involved except it should be noted Zero. To me this story has the ring of truth to it. It could have started from somebody closely involved who was ordered, en mass, to shut up, because it makes Zero look bad.
