Keep in mind the Navy escalated the tension by placing the life boat under tow.

It was just reported the hijackers asked to be taken to calmer water....They asked to be towed.

Probably hard to keep pointing toward Mecca when praying if the boat is bobbing in the waves.

Thanks..... the admiral did not mention when and how the towline was connected. I could visualize swimmers and nylon or polyester line making a hitch on a cleat or prop
