In any confrontation in today’s “modern” navy, the MOST important thing is to keep all the girls on board safe. That’s way more important than the mission or US military secrets. The Brits think (or should I say “feel”) the same way (ref naval incident off Iran a few months ago). The crew was interrogated for 11 days.
It has never been made public what, if anything, the Chinese were able to extract from them.
In any case, the entire debacle was an intelligence bonanza for the ChiComs.

"Likely?"
How about - "Definitely."
