WASHINGTON (AP) — Two U.S. Navy SEALs are missing after conducting a nighttime boarding mission Thursday off the coast of Somalia, according to three U.S. officials.
The SEALs were on an interdiction mission, climbing up a vessel when one got knocked off by high waves. Under their protocol, when one SEAL is overtaken the next jumps in after them.
Both SEALs are still missing. A search and rescue mission is underway and the waters in the Gulf of Aden, where they were operating, are warm, two of the U.S. officials said.
The U.S. Navy has conducted regular interdiction missions, where they have intercepted weapons on ships that were bound for Houthi-controlled Yemen.
gonna be found chewed up by a shark and some asshole is going to try to take away comrade sharks' credit by claiming "sharks don't eat people" as per usual
To be fair, Sharks don't kill ppl via eating them... don't think they'd like the bony texture and taste...
Plus, they're already demonized and decimated as much... I think a stingray stinging them in the ass is more apt for them...
they're literally called seals what kind of self-respecting shark wouldn't take a bite of a seal
Unless the missing are GRAVY SEALs, I don't think so...
