Thought you did. I don't have access to the entire thread from my
boat.


You thought wrong..and should update your crappy internet via boat

"The incident occurred mid-morning when a boarding party left HMS
Cornwall, the flagship of the multinational task force in the northern
Gulf, in two small craft to inspect an Iranian merchant ship.
When the inspection was completed the British were surrounded by six
larger vessels from a Revolutionary Guards naval unit. "

You assumed if they stood their ground they would die.
Why is that?
