"Search Intensifies for Missing Navy SEALs off Somalia Coast"

U.S. Navy ships and aircraft are searching for two missing Navy SEALs who were on a mission to confiscate Iranian missile components from a vessel in the Gulf of Aden headed for Somalia. The SEALs were attempting to board the boat when they were knocked off by rough seas, and are currently missing. The crew on the vessel, which had a history of transporting illegal weapons, was taken into custody, and the weapons were confiscated before the boat was sunk. The ongoing search involves Navy ships, helicopters, and drones, and the mission was not related to other military operations in the region.
