Falling off a ship in the ocean at night is a bad scenario. I don’t know what the author expects. Has he never been to sea at all, even on a Covid cruise?
Oh yes...Sundance has always been so spot on with accuracy...
TWO pieces of equipment...
1 A PLB, Personal Locator Beacon device.
2 A PFD, Personal Flotation Device, aka a Life Vest.
IF, the SEALS did not have either of these on their person, their chain of command is guilty of MANSLAUGHTER and MALFEASANCE, which is also known as... DERELICTION OF DUTY!
You are expecting anything related to the truth in a government briefing?
If it actually added up, then I would wonder!
“We are supposed to believe that two naval special force operators, Navy SEALS, doing a ship-to-ship transfer, fully kitted, fell into the water, suddenly disappeared and could not be located in the two days between the CentCom announcement (Jan 11) and the AP report (Jan 13).”
It seems believable to me. I await further facts.
are there no personal emergency location devices?
REVEALED: Two Navy SEALs lost at sea off the coast of Somalia went missing when one slipped on a ladder while boarding a ship that was taking Iranian weapons to Houthi rebels in Yemen
Hopefully they swam to shore and are partying with the natives.
Lot of unknowns. What size was the ship? What were they boarding from? If it was a smaller craft there were other operators not mentioned. Was the ship underway or was it moored?
