Covered lifeboat, "cockpit" is aft, it's being towed, how could you see into the thing from the Bainbridge ? If you could see Phillips, wouldn't that mean he'd be in the line of fire too ? The article explains that pretty good.
Bottom line is that the SEALs are excellent at what they do.
There is no second guessing their actions, they did their job perfectly after Obama finally let them.

Are all SEALS trained as snipers or just some?

No it doesn’t, hence the comment.
Add to that the comment above about the short tow, prop wash etc and I think the three shot scenario stated looks even more “miraculous”.
Not second guessing anything, just looking at the details. Glad it’s over, resolved “correctly” at that.

We had pirate-seeking scopes then.
