My guess as someone with some experience is that the crew/OIC completely screwed up, and the full story is just embarrassing as hell for the Navy.

Eventually, the story will leak out from folks in the Navy, but that will take awhile.

This smells just like the Benghazi FUBAR.

These sailors were sent out on a suicide mission much like the Marines who were ordered to stand down at Benghazi.

They were probably inches away from being beheaded and killed. I’d cry too if I realized how close I came to dying in vain.
