Hendijan-class support ship


The Hendijan class are 150' patrol boats. An Exocet should have obliterated it.

BBC news says 19 dead so far admitted-to and 15 injured.

That's probably most of the crew...

They're probably trying to come up with something more... uh... professional and military-sounding than their initial reaction, which was probably something along the lines of

Most anti-ship missiles don't really sink the ship but, create enough damage and fire-starting, that the target results in a mission kill; ultimately it becomes a burnt-out cork bobbing in the water, unless the magazine/fuel detonate and punch the hull.
