Hard to imagine why our Navy boarding party would board an unsafe, foundering ship, no matter what they suspected. They apparently didn't perceive the immediate peril, making me wonder whether somebody opened the seacocks after they boarded and ambushed two of them below decks before they could get off.

<edit>

Saw the subsequent exchange after I posted. Seems everybody's thinking along the same lines. A tragedy.
