Surely the SOP is to put your hands up, surrender, and sell your stories to the National Inquirer?
Perhaps the Americans have the balls to do what we didn't. I can't see any crew from a US Warship in the Straight of Hormuz surrendering.
As the sources said, the Iranians turned around "right at the moment" the USN were going to open fire...

What did we do? Sit there and watch them take RN and RM personnel hostage of which took what, 15 days to get them back without their boat and weapons...
