Navy identifies 2 SEALs declared dead after going missing during nighttime mission in Arabian Sea

Two Navy SEALs, Navy Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Christopher J. Chambers and Navy Special Warfare Operator 2nd Class Nathan Gage Ingram, have been declared dead after going missing during a mission to seize Iranian weapons off the African coast. The recovery operation was initiated after search and rescue efforts were called off. The SEALs were on a nighttime mission on January 11 to board a ship suspected of smuggling Iranian-made weapons to Houthi rebels in Yemen. The tragic incident occurred as they attempted to climb a ladder to board the vessel in the Gulf of Aden, with high waves knocking one SEAL into the sea, prompting the other to jump in after him, leading to both disappearing.
