The HMS Cornwall did have a helo in the air monitoring the boarding operation. They detected the Iranian patrol boats shortly after they left port and were on a heading to intercept the boarded frieghter. Commodore Lambert in an interview with the BBC said of the incident, that the sailors appeared to be safe, and that they had behaved in an ”extremely professional way, in line with the rules of engagement.”

Good grief. The British Navy is humiliated by Iranian patrol boats. I'm afraid the UK is going the way of the EU. It's militarily is a hollow shell both in assets and attitude.
