A good possibility too. Watching the onboard video it's hard to tell how far away from land they are, but if they have pilots onboard they can't be that far away.

I must say I am perplexed by the damage control (or lack thereof) onboard the INS ship. It sank pierside not in the open water, suggesting that the flooding was under some sort of control. But it sank...pierside!
