>The plan was to parachute into the sea, race to the coast in speedboats and plant beacons to guide assault forces to the island’s airport. But the SEALs’ plane took off late; they jumped at night and landed in stormy conditions, weighed down by heavy gear. Four SEALs drowned, and the rest swamped their speedboats.
>The airfield was later seized by Army Rangers who parachuted directly onto the airfield.
That must have really stung the SEALs pride lol.
