I've only messed about in small boats but know that to be true. This video shows 2 RCB's in the Arabian Gulf during a towing excercise. Given that the USN only has six RCB's the probality is very high that these are the same boats that were captured. Assume the odds favor them being the same crew as well. They have the towing hook up down pat, easy as pie.
BAHRAIN! Riverine Command Boat Training in the Arabian Gulf!

I’m on Slow dial up and can’t view it. But yeah rigging a tow is basic seamanship an E-2 can do. It should never take more than a few minutes tops even when not under the gun. I don’t know the Rating or M.O.S. of crew members but one {driver} is likely a Bosuns Mate or cross trained BM NCO and they can rig skyhooks LOL rigging is the speciality.
