"I don't understand why they haven't already taken out a couple of Iranian naval vessels. I also don't understand how a frigate captain let two of his small boats get surrounded and captured by a group of Iranina patrol boats. "

That's troubling and I'd like to know the answer. This is not suppose to happen.

A British Navy boarding party had completed an inspection of a merchant ship when Iranian vessels surrounded the British forces, and then escorted them into Iranian territorial waters, the U.K. Ministry of Defense said.
