Riverine craft are literal boats. They don’t patrol blue water.
On the other hand, they do extractions for our SpecOps.
Now, if a pair of riverine boats are on patrol and 1 boat breaks down, the other boat tows it to safety (e.g. out of Iranian waters).
...but...if they are on point waiting on an extraction, then the 2 boats will sit still. No towing.
Those 2 riverine boats transited blue water, sat still on point, and were waiting because their mission was to extract our boys from Farsi Island (probably HALO entry onto the Island).
Since both boats sailed under their own power when the Iranians later released them, it is doubly safe to say that they had no mechanical breakdown.
Nope.
They were waiting on SEALs or NERT to exfiltrate Farsi Island, and they sat there until the bitter end, choosing capture rather than evasion, giving our guys the best possible chance of extraction.
Yes, our sailors on those 2 riverine probably did cry when captured by the Iranians, but not because they were captured...but because they saw something awful happen to the guys they were supposed to extract.
Later, there will be a “training accident” somewhere else in the world to explain the deaths of our boys who died on Farsi Island this week...probably a dozen or so lost. .......
Obastard has sent other seals to their death...this is believable and the GOPe will do nothing.
I find your theory very fascinating. It does explain every aspect of this enigmatic event. And note, 12 Marines dead in a helicopter crash - with their bodies never recovered. But I am having difficulty in ascertaining the exact date of the helicopter accident, and the day when the riverine boats were captured (it is maddening that news sites now refer to events not by date, but as happening “last week” or “this week”).
