The version I have heard was Kerry fled the scene when the mine went off and later when he was sure the firing had stopped went back and picked up his guy only seconds before another boat, one that didn't chicken out and stayed on the scene, would have done anyway.

I think that's the Unfit for Command account.. Rassmussen was on Kerry's boat and fell overboard when Kerry fled.

Time for a remake of The Caine Mutiny
