......Is that right?.....
I of course was not there but have monitored reports closely, especially the presser on Sunday by the admiral in Bahrain.
It has been reported that the seals were dropped into the water along with their boat and gear away from the ship and lifeboat so as not to let their presence be known. The admiral was asked where the seals came from and he advised the questioner that the SEAL point of departure was classified.
I can’t speculate on the remainder of your post.
No inside information here, just speculating.
